Disappointing and unsurprising. He and Bryan are very similar, complaining that "social justice warriors" are "ruining open source" whenever they see pushback against shitty actions, then getting right back to doing way worse.
I'm a bit hesitant to comment further because this thread is already quite long, but assuming it's a genuine question I can send a DM and we can talk there, if you want?
It's cool, thanks for correcting.
:( sorry to hear that. Out of curiosity, what app/UI are you using?
what y'all don't seem to get is it's a way to other someone who othering you. to describe a person who hasnt been through it and lacks the experience and context to understand a joke or perspective or struggle.
Wow, I have so many questions. Who othered you, why must you other them, and why is that relevant here?
you sit here and say it "reeks of 4chan" like everyone who uses 4chan should be ashamed of it. You are othering an entire community.
I'm sorry, I didn't realize othering a group known for its toxicity and harmful effects on users and society was bad. Truly, those who've been shunned by all deserve a place to gather, and I'm glad 4chan is there to offer a home to the innocent racist/incel/transphobe and co.
That's some lacking imagination you've got there, then.
To me 'normie' has always been a little bit of an insult on top of just describing the 'average person'.
When is this insult useful, though? In this post's context, talking about users one wishes would join their platform, insulting them isn't the most inviting of ideas. Can't help but laugh every time I see a fedi user say stuff like, "Why aren't normies coming to Mastodon? You gotta be stupid to think Bluesky is any better than Twitter."
"Normie" is for when you're describing people that clutch their pearls and their bible when a goth walks past.
I doubt your definition is the common interpretation. For any particular context, there are probably countless better ways to (insultingly) refer to people. Fascist fucks? Folks have been workshopping names since the 30s. Religious nuts? Ask an atheism community, they'll give you lists bigger than the goddamn bible.
Doesn't have the same vibes though.
It might be subjective, but I agree with OP: those vibes reek of 4chan.
Be wary of simple answers that hinge on a "just." What's simple and easy to one person might be difficult or even undesirable to another for whatever reason. Convenience is a big factor, too.
FWIW you can probably report that. While trying Bluesky, I reported some crappy stuff and I can't remember any that was still up when I checked later.
How did she find my account?
Just like Mastodon/AP, data is mostly public by default. I assume it doesn't take much to find new accounts to spam. We're usually talking about bots here, not normal user accounts, just to be clear.
Ironically, the writing felt weaker than Drew's, which led to unexpected feelings while reading. For example:
r/preteen_girls (why this was even allowed to exist is beyond our comprehension)
Emphasis mine. My immediate reaction was this shouldn't be beyond comprehension to anyone who looks into Reddit's history and culture. Silly, not even a nitpick proper—though I have one—but it got a snort from me.
Anyway, assuming provided information is correct, seems he:
- Likes sexual anime-like depictions of minors
- Is sloppy at compartmentalizing his internet activity (or didn't care to; why?)
I, uh, also wonder if one can get in trouble for hosting screenshots of certain content for a report. Guess it also depends on where they're hosting from. I hope they're fine, because from this report and the rest of their blog, they seem to enjoy internet slapfights.

I don't know who this person is, but adding "Hacker News" doesn't give their words more credibility. It gives them less, if anything.
Imagine I quoted someone and, underneath it, added:
— PM_ME_UR_FEET, Reddit
Both of these enjoy the same level of base, intrinsic trust to me: none.
Fair point, thanks for sharing. Does that mean you consider fine the use of Zulip by open source development teams? Seeing as their main objective is providing organized chat between core contributors (with some level of outsider participation), that is, generally focused on facilitating the work of the project instead of building a community.
In fairness, these projects have different objectives. Ladybird aims to be a full browser, Servo doesn't.
There is Verso, which aims to build a browser on Servo, but it's still very young (though, I suppose that applies to LB as well). Ideally, I'd like to see all these projects grow into complete solutions. I think that'd be healthier for the internet. It's just really difficult to support Ladybird with Andreas as he's acting right now.
