Edit: I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist That's not merely a good idea but also https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll look at the data. There's also just not writing in the high-dudgeon flamewar style which helps with the downvotes.
