With this list you miss all the context. Apart the fact that it obviously summarizes entire comments, it feels like it doesn't represent what was said. From the 4 quotes I checked:

> is more likely to use Firefox and have 2+ google accounts

..."than the average person". Doesn't really change the quote, but it's good to know to who the average HN user is compared.

> is trained in the diplomacy of Sid Meyer's Civilization

The complete quote is: "Your average HN user is trained in the diplomacy of Sid Meyer's Civilization. Realpolitik is a joke. /s". The "/s" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here

> has ultra-secure OPSEC

This is the entire sentence (not the entire comment). "I'm not trying to say that what happened with Bumble isn't bad, and it makes the company look somewhat foolish, but in 2021, finding the location of somebody in most developed countries, aside from your ultra secure OPSEC average HN user, is quite a simple task."

I don't think that was really a meant as a sincere description of the average HN user.
