You guys are probably both running into the notice-dislike bias: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

I can give you long, long lists of commenters complaining with complete certainty in the bitterest terms that HN is extremely biased in favor of $side and the mods are totally biased in favor of $side, but $side varies entirely with the political feelings of the perceiver. This is one of the most reliable phenomena that exists on HN.

I wrote a long thing about this earlier today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23530467.

I believe it 100%, which is why I tried to discount my own claim too ("n=1" etc).
