Geez, it's hard to take anything said as authentic with a statement like that. How can you talk about things without "hate"?

"I hate shoveling snow." "I hate terrorists." "I hate this political candidate." "I hate Taylor Swift music."

How about "I hate reductive hackernewses who fail to engage constructively with the discourse and instead turn to gotcha language that 9-year-olds think is terribly clever"?

>>jeffbe+yf1
He's right though. "Not tolerating hate" is a paperthin principle, that would stand up to as much scrutiny as everything else Ello stood for, in hindsight. re, it was all bullshit and the warning signs should be called out as such so we know next time someone tries to bullshit us.
