Question for anyone reading, why do I see some comments (like this one) greyed out? Never understood it.

Is it something like a downvoted comment? I fail to see a downvote button (which I am happy about).

If a comment goes below 0 (total votes), it gets greyed out.

I've found HN pretty divided when it comes topics like energy/climate/electric vehicles, immigration and foreign policy.

Before I used to feel bad, now I somewhat expect to be downvoted bringing up anything that doesn't fit someone's worldview.

I lived a decade in Seattle, WA which is a strong blue/liberal state as it goes. Sometimes pretty extreme. Now I am in Florida which is now a solid red state since Trump. It's interesting to see how the thought bubbles and world views have formed.

downvote buttons appear somewhere above ~500 karma and as a comment gets old the downvote button disappears
