I'm Joe, the guy who made takejohndown.com. Thanks for defending me on that other post, I saw a bunch of traffic from hackernews, surprised the post somebody was made was deleted, but then again I've been banned from the /r/NYC sub now just for posting a link. You won't believe how toxic it is there: https://www.reddit.com/r/nyc/comments/s5nvz0/my_landlord_doesnt_like_me_so_hes_doubling_my/ https://www.reddit.com/r/nyc/comments/s5nvz0/my_landlord_doe...
- michaelmrose 5y agoI am sympathetic but if you inject it into every thread you will probably get banned and unfortunately it will be correct to do so. Hacker news is about aggregating interesting things to read not a collection of grievances. For example this thread is about tech and if half of it was random grievances it would be a shitty website. Asking someone if they sympathize with your issue and asking them if you can paint it on the side of their house will get you two very different answers. You and other tenants need to get together and either sue or more broadly look at how misdeeds by landlords are handled in your city and or state.
