Nobody is asking for trans people to "bring out receipts" of their trauma.
I'm asking for proof that dang has not done his job and that there are transphobic comment threads that have not been properly moderated out of existence.
Accusing people on HN of being transphobic for asking proof of transphobic behavior so that the moderators can moderate it is called "being a troll".
- _cenw 3y agoI'll reiterate my claim: It does mostly get moderated, but not entirely and often way too late when the post is falling off the front page anyway. The comments do not happen on other platforms in the first place. HN just has a segment of people that will cause this. I don't want to explore if dang can personally change this or if this site needs a culture shift to address these (probably few) people, but they're there. Here's a bunch of receipts: https://social.treehouse.systems/@marcan/110507731403617388 https://social.treehouse.systems/@marcan/110507731403617388 Here's the thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36230649 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36230649 And here's the other thread that marcan refers to that was [flagged][dead] for about the first 3 hours and only recovered because of attention elsewhere. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36030969 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36030969 The last one also has some great comments (/s) ranging from grating to outright genocidal, especially if you switch on showdead.
