Again, that is not the same as claiming the mayor or any participants are pedophiles. As far as children being present, see my comment elsewhere: https://news.ycombinator.com/context?id=39293774

Is there a copy of the inciting video available somewhere? The article didn't seem to include it.
That does seem damning, if true to how the article described it.
My point is specifically that saying "pedophilia or something" is disingenuous. "Or something" could be completely innocuous.
Is being pedantic about this adding anything to the conversation? What the site does is not innocuous; we already know that.
> Is being pedantic about this adding anything to the conversation?
Asking for specific examples to substantiate serious allegations is not "being pedantic." This is a divisive topic, passing around potentially untrue or exaggerated claims only muddies the water.

Stop being obtuse (pretending to be naive) and just do your own research.

I have, and what I've found does not support the claims that people are making. Granted, Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok are quite difficult to browse without an account/app, so I acknowledge it's possible that things exist I haven't been able to find.
I find it bizarre how aggressive people are getting in response to me asking for concrete examples.

You’re responding to a type of comedy bit. Rich doesn’t want to post “I think the complaints about libsoftiktok are made up” because explaining why that is isn’t as entertaining as simply making disagreeing with that position as tedious as possible. Rather than trying to convince other people of this position, it is more fun to flat out refuse to do any research at all — and then move the goalposts once somebody falls for the bait.
For example, I actually answered Rich’s last question but didn’t get a reply because it didn’t fit into the bit.

Well, I was trying to figure out which category he fit into: sealioning, trolling, intensionally obtuse, emotionless pedant, naive internet sleuth, lazy internet sleuth, and even "completely serious fact-finder with no agenda". I think your "comedy" falls under "trolling" but I'd also be prepared for him being a completely serious fact-finder who truly believes that people are just lying. I've kind of lost interest because he's not contributing anything to the discussion.

I’ve never heard the term sealioning, that’s super useful! Yeah I would file this bit under that umbrella, as serious fact-finders would (in this case) do a 10 second search themselves, whereas “prove libsoftiktok is malignant here on this page, the comments section of a hacker news post” isn’t a hallmark of good faith engagement.
