Well, Asahilinux was rude to do what they did, and the person you are responding to is a troll.

  They were rude to say a group disproportionately responsible for spreading falsehoods, personal attacks, doxxing, and anti-trans harassment wasn’t welcome?

    Yes. They chose to come to the threads and focus on the trollish, downvoted comments and then outright block every member of the mostly decent community from even reading the blog. They may be fine people (Asahi) but I thought it was an overreaction, yes.

      The Asahi devs taking the worst comments/individuals on HN and then using that to stereotype the entire site is...not exactly an indication of integrity. More like extreme hypocrisy. Dang is a far better person than any of these people, given that despite the amount of vitriol he's had directed at Y Combinator, HN, and him personally, he's still orders of magnitude more patient than anyone affiliated with Asahi.

    They were wrong to narrowcast everyone here as part of that audience, yes. It's their site, but they invite the controversy when they take such ridiculous measures to drag readers into drama most are unaware of.

    > a group HN is not a group. > disproportionately responsible Please link to the objective, empirical evidence that you have on hand for this claim that HN is "disproportionately" responsible - you can't be disproportionately responsible if you don't know the proportions.
