That’s amazing to me. It seems to me like creating a hostile work environment and a form of harassment, although political rallying is not a protected category, and the employer is likely hamstrung in making any sort of response.

I wonder about that, too - how far will the rabble-rousers go, if they can get away with it? Will they insist on the firing of the people who _didn’t_ sign the petition? Will they blacklist people who have ever worked with ICE in the future? Will this spread beyond github? Will we have an unelected, unaccountable group of “the woke” dictating the terms of our employment?

You expect HN to investigate the truth of individual comments?

I expect them not to delete rebuttals to outright lies

You created this account to post personal attacks like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21415586. That's obviously a bannable offence on HN, so we've banned the account.

If you're seeing abuse on HN you should take that up with us at [email protected], not come to the threads to violate the site guidelines. If your concern is the truth, there are better ways to defend it that don't violate the guidelines. If you want to smite enemies, that's not what this site is for.
