That people carry the toxic "make this post go away because I don't like it" mindset everywhere, even when they're explicitly asked not to?

At this point, the only reason I still hold a (read only) Reddit account is so I can turn implicit censorship like thresholding and front page blocks off. HN, unlike reddit, still has value as a discussion medium, but I wish that "showdead" didn't make the posts unreadable.

Here you go: https://openuserjs.org/scripts/kennethrapp/Hacker_News_Text_...

I was doing something similar:

  var downvoted = document.querySelectorAll('.comment > span:not(.c00)');
  for(let i = 0, c = downvoted.length; i < c; i++)
  {
    downvoted[i].style.color = '#70798C';
  }

You can deduce that this is terrible for discussion too.
