Comment on The forbidden topics of hacker communities

I think the point it to raise awareness that those issues are real and people suffer gravely from them. The idea is that we as members of a community, any community really, show a level of awareness and actually speak out against abuse and toxic behavior in the spaces we participate in.

Oh I definitely agree, and it is a problem virtually everywhere unfortunately. But that’s also why I was wondering why this article here, specifically. I looked at the other article of yours, it’s even worse than I thought

  But that’s also why I was wondering why this article here, specifically
  
  Generally because it’s worth sharing, but also because I had some not very pleasant encounters in this community, so I think there are people participating here that need to read more of this.
  
  You could say this is an attempt to gauge the depth of this community. Platforms like Lemmy (or Reddit, HN, etc.) make it easy to be toxic in anonymity through the option to just downvote things, but some of the comments on here show that it was warranted I’d say.
