- irskep 4y agoSome people dislike interacting with the HN community for one reason or another. I imagine that's the case here. This person definitely isn't the only one. Getting a post or tweet picked up by a large community who doesn't see your stuff regularly can be a lot more stressful than speaking directly to your audience (in this case, direct Twitter followers) who have a lot more context on your work.
- CaliforniaKarl 4y agoIn this case, there’s no need to imagine. Their latest Tweet has the answer.
- jstanley 4y agoI can only see 1 comment in this thread that uses "he" to refer to a person, and it refers to a different person, so I'm not sure I follow.
- tbodt 4y agoThere are plenty, but you may have to turn on showdead and scroll to the bottom and uncollapse to see them.
- unsupp0rted 4y agoIt seems to be about misgendering on HN? I never understood why it's such a big deal. When people guess wrong about my gender, ethnicity, preferred spoken language, etc, I correct them. I guess if they were to argue with me about the correction and insist their guess was right, that would get old fast and I'd be as frustrated as foone.
- ranger207 4y agoIt happens much more frequently by people with malicious intent to them. All you have to do is say once that misgendering is annoying and them trolls will latch on and do it intentionally to harm you

- rpigab 4y agoSame reason StackOverflow/Exchange's moderator team self-destructed 3 years ago after the Monica case. New pronouns war. The end of our species. If you're not with us, you're with them.
- bobsmooth 4y agoWhy is discussion on a different website so distressing? Are there people from HN harassing you on twitter?
- quitspamming 4y agoIt’s trendy to hate HN by some on Twitter. *edit to provide context. this isn’t unique to twitter/hn. it’s trendy on reddit to hate tiktok and instagram. it’s trendy on 4chan to hate reddit.
- zelse 4y agoSure, except in this case foone has explained exactly why they dislike their stuff showing up on HN.
- quitspamming 4y agoi edited my comment to provide a little more context but just because someone provides reasons doesn’t mean it’s not influenced by the trend. reddit’s trend to dislike tiktok has valid points but it’s also fueled by the trend. i’ve criticized hn here on hn so this isn’t me trying to defend the site.
- remram 4y agoThey also seem to hate Factorio itself, which is the reason that while they play it and tweet about it so much, they mangle its name. I don't understand it, but everyone is free to remove what they want from their own Twitter I guess.
- zelse 4y agoFWIW re the mangling: According to foone, the reason they blank out the name is to avoid it showing up on searches for the game (automated or otherwise), which they say has led to a subset of fans of the game sending them transphobic comments because of the past drama and the presence of a trans flag on their twitter page. But as you say, people can do what they like.
