I think HN users are mostly in support of right to repair, there isn't much to discuss there. Criticism of a bizarre branding choice is not a criticism of the movement as a whole.

HN users are predominantly loyal Apple users and most of them are pro-gatekeeping and for walled garden approach.

So, I am not so sure that they're fully aligned with Clippy movement at whole, which is much more than just "right to repair".

I think it's (partially) because the link is mainly a video; there isn't a mention of those things in the site text either. Perhaps the submission should have [video] so as to be clear about what the main content is.
