I find that people in the HN community either can't detect sarcasm (on the spectrum) or are intentionally being dishonest. Not camp you fall in, tbh.

They say Twitter has 'harmful content' and then move to Bluesky???? Bluesky has some of the worst images and content I've ever seen on the Internet. People regularly talk about mur…
