If the only thing that comes to your mind when people talk about the digg migration is the underage jailbait subreddit, that speaks more about you than anyone else. It was a significant shift in social media and internet history, regardless of what some fringe subreddits had.

I think having near-CASM on your social medias home page is kinda an issue but maybe thats just me.

Where did you guys get this idea? Back then, reddit had a small whitelist of subs they specifically chosen to display on the frontpage. /r/atheism, /r/news, etc. Basically, the default ones you'd be subscribed to when you created an account.

There weren't any NSFW ones on that list, and it sure didn't include the controversial ones you guys are pointing to. Maybe if you went to /all; but that's definitely not the frontpage/homepage, and even then you'd have to specifically enable NSFW for those to show up.

By the time the frontpage started including popular subs, those subs had long since been expunged from the website.

Absurd, isn't it? Hopefully, now you have some appreciation for how ridiculous you sound spewing blood libels.

Except mine makes sense and the other doesn't. What they're doing to children is some of the worst things you could imagine doing to a child. The children don't know better, and the adults the allow it all seem to basically be borderline insane/gay themselves too.

I don't believe you have a neighbor with a transgender kid that you have any genuine concern for.

HN has advertising too. I don’t claim it’s the same, but let’s be accurate.

True, but how many sites allow users to down-vote or flag the advertisements? A lot of the blatant ad posts wind up flag-killed and only people who have "show dead" enabled ever see them.

No, you cannot vote up or down the official ads on HN.

I'm from the San Francisco Bay area. I really do have this neighbor. And do I have concern for them? No. I believe that child has already been harmed and is too far gone. I have concern for all the children that can be saved still, and I have concern for all the people that know doing that to children is terrible but can't understand why they're being called bigots.

I use the insane, gross, evil thing they approve of to remind them that while they throw around the bigot word at normal people, they are the true gross evil in the world, but regardless of that, just their non approval of healthy sane normal people makes them the bigots.

"Every madman thinks all other men mad"

Oh for sure, I'm the mad Men because I think children shouldn't be given surgery and life-altering hormones based on thoughts they have as children. Your position is so terrible that there's nothing you can say that will make it ever make any kind of sense.

A father of a trans kid responded to you in the other subthread. By your own reckoning, this person is a monster and the type of person kids need to be saved from.

But instead of arguing with him, getting angry with him, expressing sorrow for his kid, or even acknowledging him and agreeing to disagree about their parenting methods, you keep talking about your imaginary neighbor.

You are getting so wrapped up in your talking points that you're forgetting to tell a believable story or have believable reactions.

I don't think you'll get anywhere arguing with these people, especially the ones who've bought into this cult to the extent that they've transed their own children.

They have to convince themselves they've done the right thing, because the alternative is horrifying.

Once again, how hard is it to believe someone from SF has this neighbor. And why would me having this neighbor or not even matter to my point really? Why would I make this up? And EVEN IF I did, would that matter since we know there are several of these kids in most bay area towns??

And no, I didn't respond to that guy. Because you're right, I do think he's doing/did a terrible thing. So instead of harping on him for something it's too late to even change, I let it go. Just like I do/did for my neighbor. I've helped that guy with his car twice over the last two years (tire rope plug, battery, small fluid checks), and didn't mention that evil stupid shit he did/allowed his kid to do or go through.

I rather argue this shit out with people that can change, not with the few specific people so deep you'll never change their mind.

Why do people lie?

Why is Hacker News not a place where one can blanketly assume good faith?

Why is social media infested with bots, trolls and AI?

What is the dead internet theory?

The point is, even if I was lying, it doesn't even change anything.. reality is these poor kids exist.
