Speaking as Xe, I'm not sure why my articles are so loved by people here either. I slightly loathe it at times because people can be _so toxic_ because I have had fundamentally different life experiences that have lead me down a differ

Hi, author of the site here. It only shows up for people that visit via Hacker News with ads disabled. If you don't want to give me ad impressions, then when you visit it gives you a nudge to be civil when commenting on the article. Is
