The post above that was killed by downvotes?
Why is HN such an outlier, and how is it holding out for so long and resisting this dominant, anti-woman culture of the tech industry?
- wpietri 7y agoIt isn't "holding out". Having used this place a decade longer than you, I'd say that it's notably better than it used to be. As you say, blatant, factually wrong misogyny does sometimes get downvoted now. Especially in a case like this, which has been prominently covered, discussed for years, and stars a well-known bad actor like Uber. But "less bad than it used to be" doesn't mean that it's good.
