With how fickle and dichotomous HN can be, don’t put it past them.

I really don't understand the underlying "rules" here at HN. Yes I've read the "written" rules, but there is some undercurrent stuff that baffles me

You're self aware enough to realize that there's "some undercurrent stuff", but not self aware enough to pick any other username than F0UKYOU-HN, which just maybe might prejudice users and moderators against you. It's like wandering into a bank with a hoodie, face mask, and a gun, and wondering why security is all up in your grill about a "mysterious" something. You're being profiled at the very start by something you set for yourself. If someone comes into your house and the first thing out of their mouth is "f0uk you!", would you really be inclined to sit down and listen to them and have a thoughtful conversation, or are you going to kick them out at the first sign of trouble? At the very least, you're going to keep a close eye on them, yeah?

In meat space, you can do things to change your appearance somewhat, but people gonna people and they're gonna judge you, some times fairly; sometimes not. Online, the only thing people have to go off here is your words, and choosing F0UKYOU-HN belies a certain amount of aggression that is naturally going to start people off on the wrong foot. How do you want people to see you? You could have chosen anything, maybe something bland or generic, like mikelovesbikes32, but in choosing what you chose, you wanted to make a statement, and with your statement, you're "baffled" by why the human being on the other side of the screen might take offense?

>I post a few comments here and there and the site tells me I am commenting too often.

A moderator probably took one look at your username and comment history, decided you were a troll and rate limited your account. You need to learn how to play the game better.

OK sir, I apologize... (anything change?)

But the "you're posting too fast" filter is applied by the mods. I know because I've had one for a while. The expectation is that you either apologize for your behavior and have it removed or get frustrated and quietly leave. But like many of HN's operant conditioning features it doesn't really work as intended.

And the aggressive and demeaning tone of a lot of your comments seems intended to invite downvotes. Are you surprised that when you call people simps and angry and selfish that you get downvotes?

The validity of your comments matter far less than your tone and demeanor around here. I don't know if this is your first account here but if it isn't you should know this place is aggressively and mercilessly tone policed.

edit: also editing your comments like that is just lame. For someone who constantly calls other people butthurt you really do seem to be the most butthurt and triggered person here. Sorry I tried to engage with you like a person. Bye.
