Not much you can do if the mob gets you canceled and fired from your job. Might as well stand up to the bullies in the mob.
Yes a mob is full of bullies who attack someone for being different in some way or have a different opinion. I already got downvoted twice with this message.
- prawn 5y agoA downvote can be to express disagreement - it might be that people think regardless of firing, you should often just ignore the so-called mob. Griping about downvotes will likely attract more.
- orionblastar 5y agoI use verbal self defense when attacked. Part of my martial arts training.
- prawn 5y agoI figure that the less front you present to an attacker, the less they have to attack. In an argument, say less. In a mob situation, minimise your apology. Write at length and you're almost guaranteed to present something someone will take issue with. Even if it's not a danger to you physically or to your career, it's likely a waste of your time!
- loopz 5y agoIt must not be Aikido you practice then. Anyway, people will downvote posts that break the HN guidelines (read the link on bottom).
- hhhhhdsgs 5y agoMaybe its hard to have a honest conversation about left wing cancel culture mobs on ultra left wing hacker news.
