- chooseaname 7y agoI'm not ashamed of my post. I'm curious, how do you know they down voted me?
- minimaxir 7y agoThe screenshot had an undown button. I have deleted the tweet.
- minimaxir 7y agoI do not regret downvoting the comment since it is an unproductive take in 2020, and there's been more than enough incidents in the past decades to show why content moderation is necessary and inherent human virtue is not sufficient. I've deleted the tweet (the intent wasn't public shaming, it was more highlighting an unusual take). That said, creating a throwaway for snitch-tagging isn't a moral highground.
- chooseaname 7y ago> That said, creating a throwaway for snitch-tagging isn't a moral highground. Yeah, that wasn't me. I don't know who you are or follow you.
- minimaxir 7y agoI wasn't accusing you. (I'm more-or-less curious who did; it's the first time I've seen snitch-tagging on HN)
