None of those seem like a terrible thing unless you have fragile ego and take randos on the internets way too seriously.

Well this would not do the shattering-ago amount of damage but after repeated exposure I would probably get burnt out and quit.

Here is an anecdotal analogy: Friends repeatedly call me Internet Explorer every time I share any Tech article that is > 2 weeks old. After a month I just stop reading tech news altogether.

Are they joking ? Yes. It is serious ? No, but it just kills all the fun.

Exactly. You can always ignore HN (or any other community discussing your creations) if you don't like what they have to say - much easier than making angry comments about them.
