Yes targeted downvoting for not following groupthink happens. Just like everywhere else on the internet that lets anonymous users vote.

But no, having your tally of meaningless internet points decrease isn’t really getting “cancelled”. If downvotes here make you sad, stop looking at them or go do something fun instead. You aren’t going to be uninvited to speak at conferences or lose you job because your HN score goes down.

When you're flagged dead, you effectively disappear. This is wrong in my opinion.
