I don't like seeing comments like this downvoted, especially with zero comments responding to it.

It seems a totally legitimate viewpoint, even if it's one that many of us disagree with.

Downvoting just to signal disagreement is against the guidelines, isn't it?

It isn't.

Ok, now that I've checked, I'm the one who broke the guidelines by commenting on downvoting. Sorry!

Reddit have the same rule and see how that is going. No one should be able to downvote. Only upvotes are needed.

HN is not Reddit

Strawman, no one said HN is reddit.

Very reddit-like comment for someone saying HN isn't reddit though.

Ok, guilty as charged, though I'd say my comment is valid all the same!
