It's usually best to ignore downvotes. Downvoted comments are noticeably grey. If people feel that's unfair, that'll attract upvotes in my experience.

You're right i could have worded it as something more ambiguous, aka "it seems this is unpopular" or w/e, but my edit was in reply to someones feedback (the downvote), so i usually mention it. No complaint, just a form of wordless-feedback that i was attempting to respond to. Despite such actions being against HN will heh.
