Some people dislike interacting with the HN community for one reason or another. I imagine that's the case here. This person definitely isn't the only one.
Getting a post or tweet picked up by a large community who doesn't see your stuff regularly can be a lot more stressful than speaking directly to your audience (in this case, direct Twitter followers) who have a lot more context on your work.

- jstanley 4y agoI can only see 1 comment in this thread that uses "he" to refer to a person, and it refers to a different person, so I'm not sure I follow.

- unsupp0rted 4y agoIt seems to be about misgendering on HN? I never understood why it's such a big deal. When people guess wrong about my gender, ethnicity, preferred spoken language, etc, I correct them. I guess if they were to argue with me about the correction and insist their guess was right, that would get old fast and I'd be as frustrated as foone.
