WTF? HN is one of the best communities. What exactly is “toxic” about it?

Their years long harrasment campaign against one of the main developers on OpenGL because she's trans, and the project lead for AsahiLinux because he stood up for her come to mind. I'm interested in graphics stacks (because I'm bad at it myself) and you basically can't discuss OpenGL there because they hate Alyssa Rosenzweig for existing.

There's a reason why lots of people block them entirely and that HN doesn't respect those blocks basically tells you all you need to know.

Re: competition, I agree Lemmy isn’t going to absorb all of Reddit right away. But it might make a dent.

This won't happen. As soon as any one instance of Lemmy grows other instances will just defederate it (like so many Mastodon instances wanted to do with mastodon.social) and kill whatever growth there is.

I don't mind that Lemmy will remain small. It's fine by me, but anyone expecting Reddit to ever notice Lemmy is kidding themselves.

I think you're confusing a few users with the community as a whole. I've read a lot of Asahi linux threads and only saw positive comments. I'm also very surprised to see accusations against Dang. He seems to be a very nice and balanced individual. Would you have any links to these attacks on HN that were not moderated?
