I think it is more nuanced, because the majority of HN is voting on the quality of the argument rather the alignment of ideas. If you present a well reasoned contrarian idea, I don't think you would gather a lot of downvotes.
What gets downvoted are the really bad takes with lazy arguments.
It just means you said something that goes against the grain of the larger part of HN. Nothing more.
But as stated, you people are inconvincible.
