i went thru the post. what i hear when people say the sorts of things they're saying: "we'll silence you to defend our right to free speech", because that's where it can and does end up.

i know that hacker culture can be more of a closed silo in that regard, so it doesn't necessarily impact people outside of that culture.

but -- leaving aside atm if that's good or not? look around at how this has played itself out over the past while. citing "toxicity" = peak irony
