I know that Lina doesn't like a lot of the attention HN sends her way so it may be better if you don't link her socials here.

Sounds ridiculous, why have a public presence on a social network then?

>>bigdic+Xq
oh. I think the emphasis is on hacker news.

you know certain social media sites contain certain toxic conversants.

That's just people…

>>smcl+(OP)
pretty sure she's a vt.social admin, so she can always do what jwz does with HN referer headers :D

given how omnipresent she is with her live streaming, it's a bit like South Park's Worldwide Privacy Tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2N8_5LDkZwY

>>bigdic+Xq
IIRC, it's not that she doesn't like the attention to her work, it's that she doesn't like how quickly conversations get derailed by things that have nothing to do with the work.

HN isn't very toxic. You must be confusing it with another social media site.

If anything, the Asahi devs are the ones acting out.

>>smcl+(OP)
I think it would be better to avoid mention of them (or the Asahi project) on HN entirely, for that matter.

If they don't want HN to criticize them, then they should expect to not get the free publicity that HN offers. Seems fair enough.

Also, between accusing HN of "supporting trans genocide" (which is some mix between "impossible" and "false"), and poisoning links with HN referrer URLs, they don't seem like very good people themselves.

Can you provide some context about this?

>>squigz+9y1
Found some... Seems crazy to me; this community has never felt transphobic to me... >>36226845

That is unhinged. I am at a loss after reading that thread. I always thought HN was a little over represented in the queer and furry communities.

>>squigz+7z1
Thanks for finding that, I had a brief search but couldn't locate it.

Yeah, most communities have bad actors, but in HN's case, most of the bad comments are either user-flagged or killed directly by dang. The crazy part is that some of these people (e.g. sussmannbaka in the thread you linked) actually think that that means that those comments are somehow endorsed or something, which is completely insane - the comment literally says "dead" or "flagged", that means the community doesn't think it's acceptable.

The behavior in both the Mastodon post and that thread is why I don't want these people on HN - they're not interested in intellectual curiosity, they just want to have a flamewar over nothing.

>>bigdic+Tv
yes, but the difference between flys gathering at shit and bees to honey.

>>bigdic+Xq
She's gotten a fair amount of unwanted attention from HN specifically, guys trying to dox her and stirring rumours about her. Like just mean-spirited stuff, and if you or I had experienced this then we'd likely feel the same animosity towards HN.
