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.

The most annoying part of the interview to me is, of course

But little by little, they started asking Jay and the team for moderation tools, and to kick people off. And unfortunately they followed through with it. That was the second moment I thought, uh, nope. This is literally repeating all the mistakes we made as a company.

What mistakes, Jack? Why is this a mistake? Nowhere in the whole god damn interview does he state why this is a company mistake. It's obviously not a mistake from a purely corporate PoV (you go fash, you lose cash, see Twitter). To call it a mistake you need to show or at least anticipate some downstream negative consequences. What are they? Why Jacky boy, why? Are the negative consequences with us in the room right now? I feel like a therapist should step in and really dig deep into this one simple question.
