abadcwm··on Block Party Aims to Be a 'Spam Folder' for Social Media Harassment
It's deliberately made to be addictive too. These social media sites really need to be heavily regulated, with that in mind. Preferably out of existence.

A global ban on internet advertising, if it were possible, would probably be one of the few solutions to all of this mess that attacks the root cause.

It's basically the rapist mindset, but applied to online services. There are many men out there with diseased rapist minds.

Similarly, I remember seeing some pretty awful comments on HN threads regarding female programmers.

Comment after comment shitting on their achievements, presumably from mediocre men who feel threatened by a successful woman in the field.

Not just here either. It's an industry-wide problem.

No, just vibes.

But I know it's something many others have observed too - it's not like I'm inventing this out of nothing.
