Try logging in as a new account with less than 15K of karma and speak passionately about topics which mean something substantial. It's a different HN world view.

I'm not sure what this has to do with the idea that a generic Ask HN about HN itself is going to be 'disappeared'. HN posts are almost never 'disappeared'.

But maybe you can find some links to examples of the bad things you're describing? There's people commenting on all sorts of topics all the time and the overwhelming majority of their comments appear to be doing fine.

And separately, some people apparently vote down if they just don't agree with you, even if it is a valid comment.
That's because this is perfectly fine on HN, with a proud and ancient history - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=658691
What happens after 15K karma?
We don't discuss that openly.
I got asked for tailoring measurements recently as I'm approaching ascension - I'm looking forward to what I'm guessing is a 15k club jacket.
