I like how FB decided to send "ramenporn" as their spokesperson.
- huevosabio 5y agoA particular facet I love of the internet era is journalists reporting serious events while having to use the completely absurd usernames... "A Facebook engineer in the response team, ramenporn..."
- noir_lord 5y agoI got quoted as noir_lord in the press. My bbs handle from 30 years ago.
- Apocryphon 5y agoImmortality.
- ivanmontillam 5y ago"Discussed in Hacker News, the user that goes by the 'huevosabio' handle, stated as a fact that..."
- runawaybottle 5y ago‘He was then subsequently attacked by “OverTheCounterIvermectin” for his tweets on transgender bathrooms from several months ago’.
- hdjjhhvvhga 5y agoThe problem with tweets on transgender bathrooms is that you can be attacked for them by either side at any point in the future, so the user OverTheCounterIvermectin should have known better.

- sharkweek 5y agoThis felt like something straight out of a post modern novel during the whole WSB press rodeo, where some user names being used on TV were somewhere between absurd to repulsive. Loved it.
- Scarblac 5y agoI remember some huge DDOS attacks like a decade ago, and people were speculating who could be behind it. The three top theories were Russian intelligence, the Mossad, and this guy on 4chan who claimed to have a Botnet doing it. That was the start of living in the future for me.

- chasd00 5y ago4chan is disturbingly resourceful at times. I have heard them described as weaponized autism.
- abhiminator 5y agoThat's a pretty accurate description of the site, lol. On a side-note, I think you'll enjoy some of the videos by the YouTube 'Internet Historian' on 4chan: * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvjwXhCNZcU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvjwXhCNZcU * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiTqIyx6tBU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiTqIyx6tBU
- Y_Y 5y agoYa, on hn it's merely productized.
- WillPostForFood 5y ago>journalists reporting serious events A facet I don't love is journalism devolving to reposting unverified, anonymous reddit posts.
- RankingMember 5y agoMy favorite example of this is when I saw references to "Goatse Security" on the front page of the Wall Street Journal
- mopierotti 5y agoI'm worried about that person. I doubt Facebook will look kindly on breaking incident news being shared on reddit.
- tubby12345 5y agolol no one cares. we're all laughing about this too (all of us except the networks people at least...)
- r721 5y agoI hope you won't have to delete your account too :)
- greendave 5y agoThey work at facebook. Can’t imagine they have any illusions regarding their privacy/anonymity.
- hdjjhhvvhga 5y agoThat said, it will be interesting to read their post-mortem next year and compare it with what ramenporn wrote.
- rvnx 5y agoWell, seems like FB shutdowned his post...
