Now you've likely been downvoted because you're complaining about downvotes. Which is too bad because you've elicited a great answer from the author. It's usually best to ignore downvotes. Downvoted comments are noticeably grey. If people feel that's unfair, that'll attract upvotes in my experience. | ||

> Now you've likely been downvoted because you're complaining about downvotes. Fwiw i think it was only once, and i was upvoted after mentioning it. You're right i could have worded it as something more ambiguous, aka "it seems this is unpopular" or w/e, but my edit was in reply to someones feedback (the downvote), so i usually mention it. No complaint, just a form of wordless-feedback that i was attempting to respond to. Despite such actions being against HN will heh. | ||
