It's basically IRC with an enormous amount of bloat tacked on. Every time it upgrades - which is obnoxiously often - it'll have some new feature they want to force on me and I have to click on a popup to dismiss it so that I can do what I intended when I started it. And they've started injecting their politics into it too, which you'll see on startup now and then. The mobile app is sitting in my "notification jail" folder three pages deep too, where apps that abuse badge notifications are kept.

  I like it how it goes straight to "touch grass" when someone has a slightly different belief to someone else. Of course it must be unreasonable if they disagree with me!

        Nope. Sorry. Your personal politics and opinions can be objectively, morally, ethically, legally, and practically wrong. On the topic of "woke" content, e.g. rainbows, gay representation, black history, etc., being against people being allowed to express themselves in ways that affirm themselves in ways that are best for the mental health and well-being, being allowed to love whomever they love without fear of legal or moral backlash, teach the true history of a people including the icky parts that certain demographics would prefer to keep hidden from the sunlight, and exposing the injustices of this country from a historical and contemporary context, IS morally, ethically, objectively, practically, and hopefully someday sooner rather than later legally wrong. Your opinion, thank fucking god, does not matter. It's not "groupthink", insofar as all we are are just people who agree that treating human beings with basic dignity regardless of their social or racial standing isn't groupthink, just common fucking sense and what a decent person should do at the barest of minimums. And if you oppose that, guess what? You're on the wrong side of history, society, and progress. IF you don't like it, you're free to leave. But we're not going anywhere, so try not to cut yourself while seething at our existence. Also make sure you subscribe to Discord Nitro, so you can upload longer clips of you talking to your camera in the cab of your 2017 Ford F150 Superduty wearing wraparound shades.

        Also, nope sorry ;), I didnt say anything about whatever nonsense you're talking about. I simply stated that its about providing space for discussion and evidence, all that rant crazy is on you. Interesting that asking for open discussion with supporting evidence pushes so many buttons for you.

        Thanks for the input though. I feel like that we each have a responsibility to call out unreasonable comments when we see it. I hope you all do this when it counts and not just when it's easy.

        The phrase "call out" is a bit of a red flag on HN because it's associated with flamewar, aggression, and online drama culture. You can make a substantive, thoughtful point showing how someone else is wrong without resorting to "calling out" or shaming. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=callout%20shaming%20by%3Adang&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...
