It's a shame that this was flagged instantaneously just because it was perceived as being in opposition to diversity programs. The quote that really stood out to me wasn't about the diversity programs at all, but instead about vilifying the node community on reddit.
> reminder to reddit manbabies that they are kinda pathetic, irrelevant, boring, creepy nerds who’ll never amount to anything. The only thing they seem to know how to do is complain, masturbate about upvotes and karma, and be creepy stalkers when women are involved. Like holy shit, do these weirdos even realize what they’re doing? Y’all are literally the sketchy, sweaty nerds that make us wanna vomit. But keep doing what you’re doing, because I’d rather that y’all vomit-inducing rapey gross dweebs actually keep being open about who you are
That seems like an incredibly unprofessional thing for an employee to say, even if that's how they feel. It sounds more like childish name-calling than any real effort towards promoting diversity. I'm supportive of efforts to increase diversity within the tech community, but this sort of rhetoric just comes off as divisive rather than productive.
- BillinghamJ 9y agoThe post itself isn't currently flagged/dead. Yours currently is.
- daxorid 9y agoThat was a very strange thing to see, in realtime. foob's comment was marked [dead] but not flagged, as one often sees with shadowbans. Then suddenly not.
- plorkyeran 9y agoGiven the contents of the quote I wouldn't be surprised if his comment was auto-killed until a moderator reviewed it.
