I just shared a post about the world’s oceans setting record temperatures for 80 continuous days. After the post achieved 130+ upvotes and the top spot within several hours, it was nuked. My experience is that every post on Hacker News addressing climate change is removed or downvoted to oblivion. I don’t want to be part of a community that turns away from probably the most important threat facing humanity in the 21st century. Goodbye and farewell!

Engaging in extensive participation beyond the occasional comment or upvote can often be a futile endeavor, consuming precious time without much to show for it.

One aspect that I find particularly appealing about platforms like 4Chan is the sense of detachment from the significance of individual contributions. It creates an environment where the present moment holds more value than long-term consequences, allowing for a certain freedom of expression. Despite the abundance of low-quality content, it's fascinating to discover that genuine brilliance can emerge amidst the seemingly endless stream of random posts.
