Are you referring to some specific event?
The one I was thinking of, I misremembered: it was actually an (alleged) stabbing. https://www.theregister.com/2021/07/07/tenacity_maintainer_q...
...but that your views are considered problematic by quite a lot of people?
Perhaps that could be some cause for self reflection before you universally declare the entire platform here hostile and toxic.
What I consider problematic is the fact these people will organize massive efforts on Twitter to ruin other people's lives because they posted wrongthink. They make the 4chan raids I've seen look amateurish.
Yeah, 4chan is toxic and savage, but at least they are honest and humane in a candid kind of way.
The cyber-bullying's of 4chan is trash though...
While 4chan posters occasionally get organized and manage to operate outside their borders, these incredibly malicious activities just aren't something I associate with them. They're the specialty of groups like kiwi farms who are responsible for the suicide of at least one video game console emulator developer. I was shocked when people told me about byuu's suicide here on HN.
> ...but that your views are considered problematic by quite a lot of people?
You do not know what my views are. It's as if you are trying to prove me right honestly. (btw, I am not posting on reddit nor on twitter, nor 4chan for that matter)
Plus the same could be said for the toxic interactions that you had on there.
> Perhaps that could be some cause for self reflection before you universally declare the entire platform here hostile and toxic.
Again, same thing for you. "Perhaps that could be some cause for self reflection before you universally declare the entire platform there hostile and toxic."
I’m just going to politely remind you that on HN your entire comment history per account is public.
Also, something that I did not mention before
> ...but that your views are considered problematic by quite a lot of people?
This is not a justification for toxicity.
And it's not as if reddit does not have its own share of similar forums.
I'm really bad at woodworking, but I do it a lot, and I've spent a crap load of money on it. Does that matter at all to anyone else in the world?
Simping is more like an alcohol consumption - damaging and the first step is acknowledging a problem exists, often through an intervention.
I think the main issues overall are encouraging parasocial relationships, and also the problem of selling sex to kids. I'm no prude but I think it raises some ethical questions when you have gaming content and sexual content in the same spot. If I had kids, that would matter to me.
