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.

a note to our federated guests: nothing about this move was smart

lol, has that person ever even posted here? (just realized that's actually hard to tell)

imagine the headspace it takes to just randomly do a driveby tut-tut because of perceived impropriety just because you yourself have never faced a lick of pushback to bullshit. amazing, 10/10, no notes

they had exactly one (relatively upvoted) post here in the last 4 months before they decided to use the reports system as… a weird one-way DM? an attempt to get me pulled into an urgent meeting about my attitude (good fucking luck)? like even if they were hoping someone else would read it, the fuck kind of result did they expect from “not very mature tbh”?

also, a “posts to this instance only” view on profiles is a brilliant feature idea as a moderation tool

Can I put you aside for an urgent meeting about your attitude?

It's great, please continue, you're doing (acausal robot) god's work out here.

I was thinking about that (the view) when I made that comment, and lol at it not existing in mod

I’m on a coffee run quickly but once I stop, I’ll make a subthread collating the ideas that have been had so far (just to track/centralise for easy view)

that’s a great idea! I’m hoping I can grab enough dev time this week to get our fork in better shape
