Should you have no critique of Zuckerberg on Facebook or Instagram; Dorsey on Twitter? Doesn't make sense to me.

Should you have no critique of Zuckerberg on Facebook or Instagram; Dorsey on Twitter?
Doesn't make sense to me.
- uniqueid 6y agoBefore I deleted my FB and Twitter accounts, I posted many scathing critiques! This felt a bit different for a couple reasons. First, the article entertained me, but makes a couple points I vehemently disagree with. Most notably: as keen as the author is to dismiss some VC's intellectual pretensions, it's those pretensions that stop HN from turning into a garbage dump of bigotry, misinformation and viral marketing fluff. The pretensions I have more of an issue with are the a16z variety: the brain-dead 'I am very bad ass' church-of-the-hustle attitudes. Second, HN has fewer posts and does not silo users. That's different than Facebook, where there was no chance Zuckerberg would read anything I ever posted. If I criticize someone more-or-less to their face I want it to be criticism I truly stand behind.
