I don’t care that much that all my past follows me. But the latest trend appears to be to visit my sins upon my children. Given that’s the case, it’s better to appear squeaky clean later on. I’ll CCPA HN and ask them to clean up.
Is corruption of blood a trend?
I can think of one case where a minor sports figure was fired for decades old statements from his father, but I haven’t seen any others.
You've spent the time to go on Hacker News, read about the online drama, and then comment on the online drama. The author considered their writing on social media to be social activism, so that may be why they spent so much time on it, for a higher purpose.

I have never seen so very very many words written to say what sums up to “in hindsight, I wish I hadn’t posted that”.
All of computing reduces to "just ones and zeros." In light of this let's just dispense with the decades of verbosity and libraries' worth of extraneous elaboration.

But, this is the drama... you are part of the drama ;P (as am I! and we are both doing this--"instead of doing something actually pleasant"--because, what? FWIW, I can see the argument that it is maybe being justified mentally as "social activism"--for both of us, though in different ways--but I actually think, at least for me, that it is a form of escapism and addiction).

I don't understand how people who are into their late 20s and 30s have time for all of this online drama If you have to work, manage relationships, and have to cook and clean up after yourself, where is the extra time for it? Not only that, but with what little free time that's left, people would choose to spend it on engaging in online drama instead of doing something actually pleasant It's one of those things that…
There are around 6000 waking hours in a year. A full-time job is 1/3 of that. Maybe managing your life is another 1/3. That still leaves 2000 hours, which is plenty for hobbies, vacations, doing silly things, and feeling bored.
Some people are busy because they need multiple jobs or have unexpected caretaker responsibilities. But many who feel busy are busy because they choose to be busy. They have made so many commitments that they are doing the time equivalent of living paycheck to paycheck.
It's easy to say that forgetting is an ethical act if you're the perpetrator of things you want people to forget. Reading this article, it seems she once got her jollies making the world a worse place for her political enemies. She seems to sincerely think that Twitter is bad, but it's not bad because of what she did with it, it's bad because well, you don't always win fights on it and when you attack someone you can…
Yeah, it sounds like she only regrets the swings she took that didn't land. I am not surprised, she was so often busy cranking the wheels of the Euphemism Treadmill. Anything, I suppose, to distract one from the burden of self-awareness.

"The sins of the father's are also the son's" are basically political orthodoxy for a large portion of the very online crowd these days.
