Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

MODERATORS
wow, the fucking bitterness in that thread as the site for clever hackers gets taken down by a really basic spam attack and doesn’t have even obvious mitigations in place (like a signup queue, one of the few anti-spam measures Lemmy implements)
I keep saying this, but the only thing I’ve seen the orange site’s anti-spam mechanisms consistently do is silence marginalized folks and anyone who tries to speak up for them. those mechanisms are fucking terrible at actually handling any volume of real spam, but in spite of what dang and company claim, they’re not really meant to deal with spam at all.
They should get some of those bayesianists on the problem, stat!
A Plan for Spam
no no I meant a plan for making spam
As a Trained Rationalist Bayesianist, I thought the A Plan for Spam was easy. But turns out everybody else has the wrong definition of what Spam is, so I need to first make documents that make it possible for people to know what Spam actually is, but turns out language is imprecise ergo, we first need to develop language again from first principles. So please read my book where we construct an alphabet from first principles, The Spamquences. Soon the second book will be released, the SpamSpamquences, and we are working on a site: SpamSpamSausageEggsBaconSpamquences.com.
Can I have fries ~~with~~ instead of that? And a milkshake
Yes sure, and can we supersize your order for one dollar extra? Great value!
