I've said this before but as someone who went to prison from 2016ish-2021, HN is the only recognizable part of the internet to me and the only place that doesn't feel toxic and corrosive. I went to Youtube for a month, and found myself posting awful toxic crap myself including here. I put work into training my Youtube algo and now it's ok, but OMG the default of what is wanted to feed me was soul crushing.
