If you had said something like that about u/gallowboob on a top subreddit on Reddit, your comment would have been deleted within minutes.

The fact that your comment here isn’t deleted is a testament to how wrong your comment is.

Sample size 1, great argument buddy. Go look at all the comments that get flagged every day, not for being inflammatory, but just for being unpopular. And unlike reddit you can't even read them on HN after they die. They're so afraid of dissenting narrative enough downvotes means deletion.
