I think I got part of my answer: it seems that many people on HN do not interact much with those of us who are now in immanent danger. Reading the delusional apathy, ignorance and disdain in the replies here I'm even more concerned.
- bdcravens 10y agoWhat is the specific policy that has been proposed that puts you in imminent danger?

HN is filled with people who are interested in the core topics of technology, and that includes readers in red and blue states, Baptists and LGBTs, Prius-drivers and pickup-drivers.
- inimino 10y agoIf you're going to blame people for not interacting with you, pay close attention to how you treat them when they do. > delusional apathy, ignorance and disdain I engaged with some folks I know on Twitter with calls for moderation and suggestions that things might not be as dire as they seem. I was asked to "stop", "go away", "shut up", and "respect the pain". Twitter now seems to be functioning as the national amygdala.
