Thank you for your comment. Yes I am new to Hacker News but I am very excited to contribute with discussion about technology and citizen engagement. I hope that your reference to that I only have 6 karma is not an effort to discriminate me or my opinions. Instead of describing a movement of millions of people as propaganda and biasing media I would encourage you to participate in the discussion with links.

Fair point, sorry for mentioning karma: it was taken out of view from comments for a reason.

Nonetheless I think it is fair that we take into account the name, novelty and activity of your account when ascertaining whether you have more intent than talking here about Catalonia. Couple of days before, and HN itself would have alerted it with your name in green.
