I'm seeing many "dead comments" as a result of senseless downvoting in this thread... people are maintaining their bubble

View on HN

Well for starters I downvote anyone talking about the number of up or down votes any post has

so, senseless downvoting then?

HN guidelines: "Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading."

I agree, and I vote accordingly.

I think you're wrong. Your maintaining your bubble by not going through your ex-girlfriends trash can everyday.

The community and moderation on this site are actually pretty good, don't demean people who have different ideas about what makes a good dialogue as being in a bubble.

If the whole community is in a bubble, downvoted people are even more in a bubble. They are the ones out of sync with the greater picture.

Of course, you are welcome to your opinion.

But I hope the irony isn't lost on you: https://imgur.com/a/WuXdstC.

My parent comment is hovering around 0-5 points. I wonder what it all means.

I still have more points then you now. I win.
