Followed by several Mr. Mackey paragraphs describing how people can be, gasp, rude online.
Shitposting predates twitter, the web, Usenet, and even BBS. Almost as soon as you could communicate with computers in the very first chat rooms you had academics hurling insults at each other. And before that you'll find cheeky telegraph messages.
You should read how Timur used to talk to people:
Believe me, you are but pismire ant: don't seek to fight the elephants for they'll crush you under their feet. Shall a petty prince such as you are contend with us? But your rodomontades (braggadocio) are not extraordinary; for a Turcoman never spake with judgement. If you don't follow our counsels you will regret it
I'd take cyber bullying over a Turco-Mongolic psycho on horseback taking personal issue with me any day.
Please, can we have a week free of twitter stories? Pretty please?
- audessuscest 4y agoyes that would be good, thanks for pointing that out.

- recuter 4y agoFor some reason I thought there might be something of value written as HN is supposed to aggregate and curate useful information. I keep falling for it, I understand Jerry Springer viewers now, hard to pull away from a dumpster fire.
- danaris 4y agoWhat is of value to you is not the same as what is of value to others. Please do not project your own desires onto the world or assume everyone must feel the same as you in order to be worthwhile.
- brodouevencode 4y agoNo, I'm enjoying the hell out of this tbh. Twitter has long been broken - someone needed to come in and shake the box.
