The fact that my comment gets downvoted with no reply is par for course. I know that HN etiquette will then complain and say "don't talk about downvotes" but that has been effectively another way to suppress dissent all along. Make dissent hard and when the barrier is still passed, make it hard to view, if you can't outright censor it. Now we also get SNL being able to "slightly criticize the narrative" when they were so for it for such a long time [1] although the link will still call it a conspiracy, the ever so useful label to anything that requires dismissal without arguments.
