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.
