Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

sometimes it’s a sampler platter of the worst posters I remember from Reddit, though in this case at least there’s no weirdo corporation enabling them

I think of this stuff as a time-saver: when they come in proudly wearing their sign and shouting their stupid shit, it’s a lot easier to know who you’re dealing with

I miss being able to instantly see somebody posted in /destiny or /redscare or /stupidpol so you could see you are replying to some fool.

Something like masstagger for Lemmy would be great. I can only hope

Yeah but it doesn't just need the tools, it also needs the bad communities. And I doubt places like that will make the switch (which is good) unless reddit dies as a company (not likely).
