I can't understand why your comment has been downvoted.

Discussions on the reasons for downvoting are frowned upon here so it is best not to discuss this 'out in the open'.

Unfortunately, HackerNews has had a significant influx of users over the last 18-24 months from other sites that shan't be named, and it has resulted in the same toxic behaviour/tribalism/feels-based-voting that exists on the site the same people discovered HN on.

I believe we're at the point where HN may need to reconsider the visibility of the voting system here, again unfortunately.
