I’m 100% all for not sharing the richest man in the world’s paid CSAM generation website but lmao at uh, getting snippy about somebody bringing up a directly related issue because it kind of tangentially sort of might involve somebody that you meant once. I think that sort of system in the industry is why we still see links to the richest man in the world’s paid CSAM generation website on the Y Combinator Forums.
It is like “No CSAM sites not ran by my buds should be on this darn webpage!!!” but like the mods here share your values, they’ve just apparently got one more bud than you do
Yes.
> And that information is irrelevant to mention in response to your request that we don’t share sites that boost CSAM on the Y Combinator Forums? Because you went to a meetup once?
No. Please read what I wrote again, as you seem to be confused and claiming I said things that I did not say.
> I am fully aware of this, as I attended a meetup at the YC office in Cambridge in 2006 where I met Alexis and Steve, but thank you for the irrelevant comment!
> I am fully aware of this historical information, thanks.
Sorry I misunderstood! You were aware of Reddit being a CSAM hub back in 2011 and were asking folks not to link to that site back in the day despite having been to a meetup! That is why you brought up having met Alexis and Steve completely unprompted. You could have just linked to your posts asking HN not to link to Reddit in 2009-2011.
Otherwise if I am wrong about that, can you clarify what exactly you meant to communicate by saying “I know that Reddit was a CSAM hub” and “I’ve met Alexis and Steve” in response to my post? Why did you bring them up specifically by name? How does that make my comment about the culture on HN irrelevant despite the fact that there isn’t anything that we disagree about?
Like you said (to paraphrase for brevity) “this twitter CSAM shit is bad and shouldn’t be on HN” and I said “this sort of complaint has been a thing about HN for a long time” and then you said “Yes, I know that. It is irrelevant. I have met Alexis and Steve”
What on earth is happening in this conversation. You agreed with me, got snippy, name dropped Alexis and Steve, agreed with me again, and then said I didn’t read what you wrote
