> Dear mods and admins, could we please get twitter links off the site? It is shameful that HN is supporting a site that produces and condones CSAM by driving more traffic to it.

Sorry I misunderstood! You were aware of Reddit being a CSAM hub back in 2011 and were asking folks not to link to that site back in the day despite having been to a meetup! That is why you brought up having met Alexis and Steve completely unprompted. You could have just linked to your posts asking HN not to link to Reddit in 2009-2011.
Otherwise if I am wrong about that, can you clarify what exactly you meant to communicate by saying “I know that Reddit was a CSAM hub” and “I’ve met Alexis and Steve” in response to my post? Why did you bring them up specifically by name? How does that make my comment about the culture on HN irrelevant despite the fact that there isn’t anything that we disagree about?
Like you said (to paraphrase for brevity) “this twitter CSAM shit is bad and shouldn’t be on HN” and I said “this sort of complaint has been a thing about HN for a long time” and then you said “Yes, I know that. It is irrelevant. I have met Alexis and Steve”
What on earth is happening in this conversation. You agreed with me, got snippy, name dropped Alexis and Steve, agreed with me again, and then said I didn’t read what you wrote
???
