> You’re doing the same thing now.

My wife does call me her favorite hypocrite :)

My statement was certainly an oversimplified assessment.

> Valid, level-headed criticism

This is a good clarification to make, thank you. Ultimately this is what I'm longing for more of in the world. "shitting on" either yourself or someone else isn't helpful.

You seem opened minded so here it goes.

The problem with this stupid website is I (or no one else) couldn’t even properly reply to you due to censorship.

I intended to write a sample of what actually “shitting on you” would actually be, but I knew the autistic mods would ban me just the same as if I was actually doing so because they lack the prefrontal cortex material responsible for comprehension.

So engaging with you, or really in any valuable conversation on HN, is an exercise in bad faith, everyone must always wrap themselves in a thick layer of bullshit to appease the gods above or else face sanction.

You know you're welcome to make your own community, right? You're not actually being censored, you're just in a venue that doesn't support communicating how you'd like.

You've succeeded in your goal of posting a sample of what actually shitting on someone looks like. Hint: it doesn't look good on you.

> So engaging with you, or really in any valuable conversation on HN, is an exercise in bad faith, everyone must always wrap themselves in a thick layer of bullshit to appease the gods above or else face sanction.

Engaging with society requires wrapping everything in a think layer of bullshit. Being able to show some restraint is what keeps things civil, because there's a wide range of social norms. Get a therapist and learn how to cope with it.

Again, you could also find or create another venue. You're not entitled to a platform.

Alternatively I could tell you to fuck off, because absolutely nothing about your statement is factual or fair in even the slightest.

People like you love to say shit like “well just go make you own platform”

Cloudfare will ban you, AWS will ban you, the investors that are poor fronts for private equity will ban you, it’s controlled. You won’t be able to take payments in your little rebel SaaS because Visa will Kneecap you.

You pretend that there’s some kind of free, open exchange of ideas where some free market determines what is popular and thus allowed for social discourse. Instead there’s the allowed discourse of the elite, which you freely participate in with glee, and worst of all you pretend you’re free.

So please keep simping like a good little serf. It does all of us good when we conform to what your institutional therapist thinks is “good” lol
