How do you react towards ageism and discrimination?

>It’s just that account age is one of the few signals that an online platform has to go by.

None of that invalidates or even addresses my arguments. It's still about exclusion of people based on account date rather than WHAT they say.

>HN absolutely recognizes this in their policy, considering that they give new accounts an entirely different color to make them stand out from the rest, and that they don’t allow downvotes unless your account has achieved a certain karma level.

Except that my account is not green, and I AM allowed to downvote.
