Oh please f** off with the speech policing. There is no hate festering in the article or anywhere on her page. Someone had to go very far out of their way to dig up something she said. Until then, it was just a technical post. That's very far from Moldbug who wrote volumes of rhetoric explicitly designed to push a particular ideology. In fact if exposure to radical views is the problem, the person who dug up the comments and posted them here did more harm here than anyone else. Until then we were all blissfully unaware and just having a technical discussion.
- erichocean 4y ago> Someone had to go very far out of their way to dig up something she said. And every time it happens, more and more people find out. Streisand effect. When I asked @dang a few years ago why Yarvin was banned, that was his response: in even technical posts related to Yarvin, his politics endlessly get brought up—and HN doesn't exist for that kind of discussion. You can still see that happen in virtually any Urbit post, despite him not even being involved in it anymore. If I were @dang, I would have allowed Yarvin links on HN (and Justine, obviously—amazingly talented engineer) and instead have a different HN policy: ask random HN posters to stop bringing up unrelated politics in the comments of technical posts. Maybe @dang will do just that and we'll both be happy. It happens a lot and would make the site much, much nicer.
