User-specific? Why isn't the page excluding the header part cached separately, or am I missing something?

Presumably basic stuff like showing whether or not you've upvoted a comment and showing your own comments differently to other people's.

It would be cheaper to render those afterwards client-side given a list of comment ids that the logged-in user has upvoted.

That would require users to run client-side scripts for basic site functionality.

Upvoting is a client-side script already.

You need high karma to have access to the down-vote button.

Are you sure? With JS disabled, the vote arrows are simple links for me that work as expected.

Render server-side (or on the edge) for those who don't run client-side scripts.

I know you need karma above 500 for downvote button (I have it), I am complaining about existence of this button, it should be removed for everyone, it doesn't really help anything besides silenting opposing views/opinions going against HN hivemind.

People switch accounts you know, I had to switch account after people set up downvote bots on my account when I had downvoted comments within minute from posting.
