ELI5 the story behind this?

• m0ck 9y ago
  He is a schizo autistic programmer who is convinced God told him to make an OS, so he is working on it constantly for 15 years, doing nothing else (it kind of resembles Noah's Ark). He used to livestream regularly on Youtube and became popular on technology boards on 4chan, 8chan etc., for his rants about God and "CIA niggers" and generally "being a living meme". Some people there genuinely like him and even bought him that drum set he wanted, but others (given *chans reputation) just liked to screw with him to induce more rants. But he is really suffering from mental illness and should got professional treatment.

    And he also posts on HN, but last time I checked his account is shadow-banned.

      He gets banned whenever he posts because his mental illness is taking over and he can't help but include slurs in his messages. Snowflake mods then usually either delete his posts (like on reddit), shadowban him or just ban his whole account. Which is really a shame because ignoring the slurs, his posts give you a lot of insights into his mind.

        Mods have good reason to ban him if his comments are peppered with racial slurs: they are doing their fucking job. Mental illness is no excuse for racism. Calling the mods Snowflakes is going a little too far IMO.

    Yeah, professional treatment- what if that is basically offering a life like a living zombie or no-treatment at all? Not my department is just a lazy early out of difficult problems. Hope you have family. Hope that one day makes it oyur department.
