Most of us at the end of the day don’t care, certainly not enough to keep track of a leaderboard of this site LMAO.
As I said, use a burner, post and move on. Let the haters do their thing.
This kind of a comment where middle and senior management will be rendered useless (and therefore feel threatened) by communication-competent engineers is both prevalent on HN and absurdly wrong from a business organization perspective. Joel Spolsky’s writing on this subject should be mandatory reading before people spout nonsense.
If this is a website supposedly for startups, the audience missed that mark by a wide margin.
It does. It would be nice if controversial statements, said in good faith, were not downvoted and flagged, but thats not a reality on HN.
Much easier to make burners, say what’s on one’s mind, and move on.
I have such an account. But HN requires burner accounts all the same.
> Replies to our posts with hardcore antisemitism
Doubt this would be a problem if it was hardcore antiwhitism.
As far as accounts go you really don’t have a choice on HN, because eventually you’ll get flagged enough to get throttled/suspended and eventually banned for being too controversial, not following groupthink, etc. Between Theranos and pandemic we’ve got a good corpus of what that looks like, and I don’t have 3-4 years to get my commentary vindicated by the same paid news actors that are causing this shit to begin with.
No offense to the mods, but community “guidelines” translates into skewed application.
As for Douglas Murray, the reviews for his books aged like fine wine.
Signalling from men’s side has always been to get laid. From women’s, to gain power/dominance over men.
Crass commentary from me, I know. It’s a tale as old as time.
Edit: to drive this point home, look at which actors in the West are prominently signalling, especially those with political pull, and then look at the conditions they live in and the company they really surround themselves with. What income bracket are they in? Who are they married to? Who are their real neighbours and peers? It speaks for itself.
