You sort of missed my point.

It’s where some of the worst most toxic interactions I have ever encountered come from. Take the worst of YouTube and tumbler and then amplify it. Twitter by contrast is a paradise. HN for all its pedantry is at least useful most of the time.

It does not affect me personally. But I could see others being attacked on it then going and doing very stupid things.

A short time on the fediverse if you do something that someone doesn’t like might be enough to ensure you never want to interact there again.
