This may be an unpopular opinion, but I’d prefer if this culture war crap were kept off HN. There are plenty of other places to discuss this, just because Twitter is involved doesn’t mean it’s related to tech.

Not unpopular opinion at all. Reckon most here would agree.

Used to be you could come here to at least slightly escape from all that shit and artificial outrage. Now I can barely tell the difference between HN and Vox.

Normally I’d agree, but I think prolific Silicon Valley startup Twitter playing such a big role makes it very much Hacker News material.

Yeah, this thread has degraded extremely rapidly in terms of comments. And luckily it just disappeared off the front page :)
