> Not sure why you’re being downvoted

If you're not sure why someone is being downvoted, there's a good chance there is a misunderstanding somewhere, and a good way for you to understand is to wait for people to comment, and then read those comments.

Alternatively (and in a more general sense), if you want to take a more active role in your learning, a good way to learn is to ask questions, and then read the answers.

There is no misunderstanding involved. HN is often too emotional and will downvote and upvote whatever supports their beliefs or outrage du jour.
