@badRobot, I understand that you think I use moral licensing. I think context is relevant, that not all situations are equal. There are times your angle applies, and times mine does, IMHO. Both our positions have already been explained in this thread a long time ago, and your persistence became pointless many posts ago.

There is also a lot of me thinking and evolving my opinion out loud in this thread.

It seems to me you have a different ax to grind but that one is out of my wheelhouse. It is out of most people’s wheelhouses. Then there are the legal liability issues to the site you aren’t factoring in but have no reason to understand ….

Let’s just get back on topic.

Please, don't accuse me of the opposite of what I'm doing. I'm talking about the most disturbing side of extreme low self esteem and depression and how it can be toxic for other people. Otherwise it would not be such a big issue. Yes, this is disturbing, but not because I demonize or antagonize depressed people, this is part of what makes this condition so problematic socially.

These false beliefs and reasoning are dangerously contagious, it can quickly snowball into horrible echo chamber similar to what happened to Incel communities. It all began as harmless emotional support group.



This is the opposite of what you said, you clearly said they are a troll. You clearly said they are pretending to be on the spectrum and doesn't directly attack people on the spectrum.

I said "imagine malicious internet troll" as thought experiment to demonstrate that if someone has malicious intent to hurt this community they could do it by pretending to be a member expressing beliefs and reasoning negatively affecting others, sometimes serving as the last straw.

Fact is some of such accounts here are trolls. But as I said, we should act assuming it is not a troll, but actually affected person who has these beliefs, avoid using measures like bans and harsh moderation. But these beliefs and reasoning should be challenged to limit potential damage at least to some extent.

Apparently it “cost,” $300M in investors money.

It doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to figure out that it doesn’t cost $300M to launch a website based on an open source template.

That should be everyone’s first clue that..

The concept that "I may not agree with you, but will fight to the death for your right to say it", is dead.
R.I.P., noble concept. :skull:
