Maybe it would be nice if we didn't apologize for people who throw Nazi salutes in public? Elon doesn't deserve your kindness or consideration. It isn't political to say that Nazis are bad and people who sympathize with them are bad.
Calling the site and its users out is not out of place, and I will continue to do so until it is no longer such a place or it is gone, whether that happens in 6 months or 50 years.
Literally not, I disagree with many takes of HN users and I don't "tolerate those views", but I'm please to read those alternative views, if you don't read the alternative opinions, how can you know what's going-on? How can you understand the psyche behind those individuals?
I also use Reddit and Youtube and other platforms which have despicable content, social media have million of users, you don't have to tolerate anything to continue using it. It's a big world.
Discord (Instagram as well) has literal terrorists on it with groups promoting sales of weapon with onion links and vouched sellers and stealth methods and and so-on, I don't really see the million of gamers tolerating this, maybe they are just able to continue enjoying a technology without thinking about the politics behind it? Code != Politics.
