> 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.
