Man, I remember when that was first posted. I just burned a lot of time going back and rereading some of the comments on HN. To be honest, I got tears in my eyes reading the original blog post.
People can be mean sometimes. I know a lot of people call out Twitter as particularly toxic or that it is hard to express yourself clearly in 140 chars. Personally I have a Twitter feed that is filled with positivity and reality and takes on life that educate and uplift me and give me hope for the future. (Threads, anyone?) (Sometimes the reality can be quite depressing. But I can guarantee you nobody is shitting on others like this in my feed. I know there are many problems with Twitter. But to all the people who made it possible for me to learn from so many diverse and brilliant people, a big fucking thank you for that. You have brought me immense joy and made me a more thoughtful and better educated person. I will do my best to remember that no matter what happens.)
I’m finding it hard to resist posting further negativity.
I think Kendrick Lamar said it best:
> In the land where hurt people hurt more people,
> Fuck callin’ it culture…
