Yeah, I don’t know what’s going on here. Looks like a mod having a breakdown. I posted the rest for context and I’m in the middle.
I got linked to the comment chain from elsewhere. The comment had a link to a tech dude’s blog, supposed to point out his white supremecism. I didn’t see anything bad in that article, but stumbled on another one with nazi apologia, thought they may have linked the wrong article, posted it. That’s it. That’s all I did.
I guess it is called awful.systems and the culture confuses me, but man, what a dick move to call me a facist in the modlog.
If nothing else, I hope this drama is entertaining.
Edit: Because this is, well, the internet: I was not defending DHH. Another removed/banned comment said they couldn’t find anything bad in that link either, so I found one where DHH was being more blatant in his bullshit.
awful.systems is a perfect case study of a community dedicated to bullying outsiders and senseless tribalism. I wouldn’t really even give it a second thought as far as your own behavior or whatever inexperience; I got banned from there for saying something objectively correct (I don’t even remember the context), which they interpreted as being “pro-AI” which is grounds for a permaban in their value system. There is no winning with them unless you are part of the echo chamber.
