> anyone receiving threats online should report it to law enforcement The fact that you suggest this is proof that you've never had to do so. This is literally part of what I do for a living. I work with people going to law enforcem

If you aren't a part of FreeBSD core or the FreeBSD Foundation, then you don't know much about what's been happening at all. They haven't released any information about this publicly, and it wasn't talked about much

Or people can have a reasonable conversation about harassment and shady legal maneuvers by open source projects. Even if you're not concerned with harassment as a subject, seeing an open source project fib to attempt to illegaly enforc

If outside trolls appeared, I'd blame the trolls, not HN. It's fairly easy to see what accounts are new. There have been controversial posts of mine on HN before where new accounts did show up to try to stir up trouble. I challeng

I saw. But it didn't make this comment necessarily invalid. If there's a policy against putting an HN post on social media when said post involves the person publicizing it, I'm not aware, and I'm happy to fix it if it&#

A lot of my followers are in the tech community and part of HN. My apologies, and if people find it to be a problem, I'll gladly delete the tweet. I think it's interesting watching how HN responds to posts like this, because they

Citation needed. I've never talked to him (or, for that matter, the person that said they know all the parties involved).

Good luck with that. You harassed other women off the internet, but I'm made of stronger stuff, and I'm not going anywhere. I'll continue to protect people from abusers like you by writing code, driving community, and pushing

Unless you're part of FreeBSD core or the FreeBSD Foundation, I don't have to air anything. Dude chose to make things public, and the mob descended, so I responded & that's where we are. If you think I'm going to ela

It means that GW is a white male gamer (this is not supposition, hi GW!) that disagreed with Pao's discrimination lawsuit.

That's a request that was made recently to OAPI. Um. We might be working on that.

Internet hate can often turn into real life hate. Witness: SWATing, emails to employers, ordering pizzas as a "joke". Not to mention, the number of death threats and threats of sexual violence is climbing at an alarming rate, espe

I keep hearing this from that group. GamerGate seems to think that they are the majority of users on any given site. They're convinced that Twitter is going to fail if they leave. It's pretty amazing how much they misunderstand th

Just because the volume of hate has been turned up to 11 does not in any way mean that the majority of Reddit users feel this way, and this is something that many people seem to be forgetting. Take a look and see how much reddit gold has be

So do a search on reddit, look to see how much Pao-hate remains that is weeks/months old. It's pretty obvious that this was some BS rumor cooked up by conspiracy theorists.

I can confirm that most indications we've been able to gather point at SWAT threats coming in over Skype and google voice. Location is harder to pinpoint. Many do appear to come from overseas.

GamerGate is not interesting beyond the fact that it's made abuse a topic of conversation, and that the rate of engagement is high enough to provide a steady stream of abuse for analysis. They are not the real issue, but a symptom of a

Indeed. I would think a hastily coded perl script written in a fog of tequila being so effective is a pretty good vote in my favor. I mean, imagine what I can do with gin.

I am really so very tired of seeing people say this. I'm going to explain this once, and I'm only doing this here because despite my reservations over the community, I know that HN is generally a place where people are intelligent
