It's sad how wealth affected Notch or perhaps magnified his character. A long time ago, I started following him on Twitter and I think I lasted about 2 weeks before I unfollowed him. The sheer negativity and woe is me is bananas. If there's a prime example that money doesn't buy happiness, he is one.

I tried clicking the links about Notch's non-pc comments. Those took me to newsweek articles which also talked about twitter but didn't link to the offending tweets themselves. Only one article linked (someplace called "the root") actually referenced any of his words per se. Among the problematic quotes were: "Privilege is a made up metric used to silence and repress.

Seriously what the fuck happened to Notch. I don't blame Microsoft from excluding him at all.
(Replying to this comment as it's at the top, though the poster should read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html ) From the links in this article: he called Zoe Quinn a c-word (which many people have), tweeted "It's ok to be white." (which it is), and says he doesn't regard biological men who identify as women are women (which is a fairly common belief). QAnon is a weird conspiracy theory, but the rest do…
Examples?
Sounds like Microsoft won't invite those 'many people' too then.
His statements on Pizzagate being real and QAnon being legit have been used to push those theories among the alt-right and white supremacists.
>It's probably worth having a Code of Conduct which requires explicit hard left belief systems if you're going to exclude people with mainstream beliefs.
Pizzagate and QAnon theories are the opposite of mainstream beliefs.
Also companies can and should go against mainstream beliefs if those beliefs are bigoted and racist. Otherwise slavery would never have been abolished and the civil rights act never enacted. Or women would never have gotten the right to vote. All those were against the mainstream beliefs at some point.
Companies doing these things going against the mainstream can actually hurt them in the marketplace, which is more the reason to applaud them for taking the risk.

This really upsets my priors about the average contrarian theory believer.
