No, because you're no threat to any such powers.
For an oppressive regime, the optimal number of critical voices against it is non-zero.
It needs to be enough that people get to vent their anger before it metastasizes into actual actions, but it needs to be too little to spark threatening action.
You're striking that balance perfectly, meaning that you do exactly what it would want for you. => You're good.

Posting a comment on HN is not venting anger or frustration lol, that was a fairly level headed complaint compared to what people say publically about Musk and et all. I think you're overestimating Dario's fanciful empire a bit too much.
