@Gargron lets celebrate!

@ZeeZee @gargron and in personality cults originating from techbro hell

@a_breakin_glass @Gargron what even is HN, I'm unfamiliar with the acronym

@ZeeZee @gargron Hacker News

@gargron @ZeeZee illustrative comment from that thread

@a_breakin_glass @Gargron wtf

@ZeeZee @gargron cybre.space's blocklist isn't even that long

@a_breakin_glass @Gargron @ZeeZee

Everyone essentially "lives in a bubble", based on:
* the education they can draw back on to understand
* willingness to further educate themselves on
* willingness to hear the other party out about
* and willingness to admit
an idea.

@a_breakin_glass @ZeeZee @Gargron Ahaha, I was just reading that. Call me crazy, but I would rather not interact with people who hate me and my friends. I do like exposing myself to views outside the Lefty Bubble sometimes, but in the form of good articles written by smart people, not random lolTRIGGERED shitposters

@synaesthetica @a_breakin_glass @ZeeZee There is so much inaccuracy in that comment

@Gargron @a_breakin_glass @synaesthetica "everything I disagree with is inaccuracy, no explanation required"

@ZeeZee that comment, as in the screenshot. It's factual inaccuracies.

@synaesthetica @a_breakin_glass @Gargron

@ZeeZee ZeeZee sucks Lord Voldemort's nose.

If you disagree, please explain why and prove my claim is false. Otherwise it's true.

@pskosinski This isn't how burden of proof works

@Shotagonist I feel that @ZeeZee thinks it works exactly like that.

@pskosinski @ZeeZee get fucked idiot

@pskosinski the reason is because voldemort isn't real

@pskosinski what with being a shitty character invented for an over popular kids book now being used for some dumb bullsit argumetn

@synaesthetica @a_breakin_glass @ZeeZee @Gargron I’m not even particular lefty. I just... like being somewhere that people are nice to each other. Wild, huh?

@dielan That's almost a fair reaction. I've seen this so many times:

One: ...and of course ${leftist_group} are a bunch of whiners who can't be taken seriously and we should get rid of them.
Two: *mutes one*
One: Help, I'm being oppressed! The irony!

Now, it could 100% go the other way, of course! I just haven't actually seen much - any? - of it from the other direction.

@dielan I'd probably agree with your take on that. I personally don't mind a bit if people say things I totally, vehemently disagree with as long as they're civil about it. (And thanks!)

@dielan Hah! It happens. Lord knows I've been downvoted into oblivion on HN for not toeing the SV line appropriately.

@a_breakin_glass @ZeeZee @gargron

Oh yeah, there's lots of that on HN. And that guy's HN account was created... oh, just in time to respond to the thread.

@Gargron lol I wrote "shit in tone"

@Gargron That's the little things like that that light your day ≧^◡^≦.

@gargron I was thinking the same thing actually, I was like

A HN convo about us that's.. actually about us and not "Will this ever work??!!!??"

@Gargron MaaP !

@saper It's not. Maybe you're just logged in accidentally?

@Gargron https://mastodon.technology/@brion

Previously it was blue on black, right?

@saper No, it was never blue

@Gargron ok, maybe I am confused somehow. It is too small now I think.

@Gargron ah, no, sorry, it was too small to notice on the background

@jim @Gargron I believe it's this thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16741116
