in particular in the combination with the top comment by Ryan Carey gives me a really quite bad vibe.
I think you are interpreting RyanCarey’s comment as silencing of dissent. This seems unfair to me.
I thought RyanCarey’s comment was sort of specifically wincing about people saying specific weird things, like speculating about certain kinds of coordination or suggesting certain faculty with politics.
Given how snippets can be used unfairly (see /r/sneerclub) and also considering whatever is going on in American politics, this concern seems valid.
The comment seems orthogonal to frowning on dissent about the candidate or supporting elections in general.
I think writing a caution can be difficult. You don’t want to be get specific, and sounding overly worried is counterproductive.
