I don't share the exact same opinions as you, but I can understand where you're coming from. All I can say is, leave Hacker News and find communities of nicer people to talk to who won't down vote you for speaking your mind.

The might even engage in civil, polite conversation with you. It worked for me. I never post here anymore (I created this throwaway account because it's better for my career to appear squeaky-clean and woke).

Can you recommend anything? I do enjoy the content here, and some of the people are really great, but the level of wokeness is just absurd. I got some people chasing me from here on other networks just because I dared to say my opinion. Thanks for speaking your mind btw. Obviously you had to be downvoted as well

What's your public key? I don't want to drop names in plaintext because I don't want my favorite communities to be targeted by anything resembling an angry mob (not a certainty, but stranger things have happened).

First, I don't know what people I belong to in your little fantasy, but please be so kind as to share.

Second, there is a difference between a space in which you can say anything and a place that you can say only the things you are allowed to say. In the first case you have a public discourse, in the second you have public outrage. Essentially HN is becoming a safe space for woke people.

Do you not really see anything wrong with stalking people online, or for that matter even in real life, just because they have different opinions than you?

He's not looking for a safe space, he's just looking for a space he won't be deleted from.
