Ok this is entirely off topic, but I'll ask because Krebs is being discussed. Does anyone else find the comments on his blog posts incredibly toxic relative to other tech blogs?
I've seen his site linked on HN several times and in many of those cases, the content was fine, but the comments seemed to turn into strange, angry rants.
- celticninja 6y agoYup, and given his proclivity to dox it is concerning that some call for violence.
- hashkb 6y agoConcerning, but not surprising. Doxxing is violence; or at least a precursor.
- Donthatme 6y agoMy brief take on his comment section was that they were more superficially corny. Things like "Listen up bad guys, crime doesn't pay!!1" I enjoy his blog posts, but I usually binge read them every few months.
- hashkb 6y agoIt's on topic. If you have a platform, you have some responsibility for how your audience behaves. If you don't discourage bad behavior among your fans, you're encouraging it.
