I'm surprised Twitter sucks less than HN, but I guess Twitter at least allows disabling comments.
This is the second Twitter user I've seen that openly hates people posting his tweets here. Both are non-traditional genders, maybe that's a relevant factor.
Edit: for a second I thought the tweet referred to Ubuntu.com :P
You missed the point. That text on the wall has a major impact on people because that text on the wall turns into policy. Turns into laws. Turns into dictation on life.
This varies significantly from thread to thread. I remember the threads from the time of the George Floyd protests and they were pretty awful, but most are completely mundane e.g. I posted a thread about alleged abuse of refugees at some US detention center and it was received as you would expect anywhere else.
That being said I am white and male and probably not who you have in mind. HN being white and male is probably more of a thing about it being aimed at programmers than anything else, plus I have a pet theory that something about the male personality values talking nonsense all day about things we have no control over (i.e. Why is Reddit male dominated? The subs I go on are full of completely sexless nerdtalk about politics for example)
There are definitely more than just white males here because just about every topic specific to some country or region gets comments from people in that area and I doubt they're all white.
People of color around the world have opinions about race, gender, etc which I think would offend you. Some of their countries even have laws, language and cultural traditions that are completely against your own values.
Also, perhaps it's very difficult to avoid becoming reddit when controversial topics are present? Which comment forum do you think gets it right and what's their secret?
Why?
