Kind of...as I said rpeviosuly your evidence actually supports my point, but even if you disagreed, I'm refuting your positive claim, not making a positice claim of my own. The onus is on you alone to support your claim.
> I received quite a few upvotes for that comments, indicating that people do care. Nobody said they didn't care.
Sure - the point was most people don't care.
> You are free to count how many other people commented on Librem 5 yourself and disprove my claim.
Pretty easy, just look at the ratio of votes in the last 10 threads you advocate for those phones in, where you maybe get 2 or 3 which is very low compared to the amount of comments and commenters, and then look at the amount of comments you get expressing a negative opinion. You get more negative and neutral feedback combined than positive feedback, indicating people don't care generally or if they do, it's to disagree with you.
This is what the evidence shows.
Such prevalence of negativity may have a different reason than not caring: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46513215
Maybe, but that wouldn't explain the disproportionate lack of votes and replies, both of which also indicate a lack of interest.
Some of such articles and comments do get a lot of upvotes and positive attention, if they get to the main page:
