Since when does significant mean majority? It means significant; ie nontrivial; a number you can't ignore.

I think the comment is asking the HN community for potential suggestions/solutions that allow for the remote-loving crowd and the office-loving crowd to coexist (presumably in a single company), since their needs are a little at odds with one another.

Majority by definition implies significance, and I wanted to clarify they weren’t meaning majority. I think I am missing the point you’re trying to make.

Majority implies significance, but significance doesn't imply majority. It felt like you were projecting something onto the comment that wasn't actually there. But I understand where you're coming from.
