I wouldn't be so sure. See the "Anti-Voting Manipulation" section here:
you telling us to vote in a specific way is already gaming the system.
stop trying to manipulate their idiotic algorithm and just focus on delivering value to the community.
if the HN crowd likes it, there will be plenty of organic votes from their front page and the tiny handful you get from the D forum who actually manage to find the thing will be irrelevantly small.
if the HN crowd doesn't like it, our tiny handful isn't going to change anything.
Either way, the value of our manipulated votes is massively smaller than the value of us being able to participate in the comments in the event people there do say something.
