Names are often associated with various groups, trying to imply that this doesn't matter is disingenuous. I will continue to avoid low-quality tech content through various heuristics.
- yawpitch 3y agoThis particular heuristic will — self evidently, based on the article — result in you both missing a lot of very high-quality tech content while also revealing yourself as more than a bit bigoted… but hey, more power to you.
- TheFreim 3y agoIt will result in me missing mostly garbage content, occasionally quality content, in exchange for other content which is quality that isn't missed. It's not like I just decided one day to avoid content in this fashion, you waste enough time and energy on low quality content and you eventually learn ways to notice and avoid it. > revealing yourself as more than a bit bigoted A man was once asked by a journalist whether or not he was a "racist". His response was as follows, "I've thought about that a lot, and I've concluded that it doesn't matter."

- TheFreim 3y agoI think it's time to start ignoring the accusation of "bigotry" and other similar freely-used now-meaningless terms. If recognizing a trend and acting on it in a way that improves my life makes me a "bigot" then the definition of "bigot" is to be reasonable.
