The author went out of his way to make a reasonable point in the most absurd way possible.
Which I guess is an achievement.
They wrote “I’m being censored” when they should have said “nobody will listen to my rambling”.
The forbidden topics are rape and assault? By “hacker” does the person mean white hats and black hats? Or “hacker = somebody who writes code”?
But what community is the author talking about? I only skimmed but I still have no clue whom this article concerns. There must be some context I’m missing, but then it would have more sense for the author to give some links, now this just reads like some rambling that has nothing to do with programming
I think the point it to raise awareness that those issues are real and people suffer gravely from them. The idea is that we as members of a community, any community really, show a level of awareness and actually speak out against abuse and toxic behavior in the spaces we participate in.
Oh I definitely agree, and it is a problem virtually everywhere unfortunately. But that’s also why I was wondering why this article here, specifically. I looked at the other article of yours, it’s even worse than I thought
His last article, which is referenced in the current article, gives context:
Hmm I don’t see the link in the posted article. Thanks!
Wow thanks. This person seems to thrive on creating drama.
Nothing Drew DeVault writes is worth reading, and this is no exception.
Mind explaining for the uninitiated?
Of course, it’s forbidden, that’s definitely a more parsimonious explanation than people simply not being interested in reading rape allegations on a tech news aggregator, a technical mailing list or a Github issues page, of all places.
edit: or the Lemmy programming community.
