Well, I'm not discouraged at least. The entire article probably shouldn't even be on HN so whatever
replyI enjoyed the article. And it gave me a different perspective about how sometimes you have to go to where the people are to get your message out to people that they should leave.
replyI for one, was happy the article was on HN.
> This seems like a valid critique of the content of the article
replyNo it was not.
The EFF clearly stated the main reason the left X/Twitter is that it no longer works for them as a way to reach out. To anybody.
Nothing to do with the politics of those they were reaching.
It's funny that the (seemingly) right leaning people in this thread are criticizing the EFF for leaving Twitter while also simultaneously saying they will leave HN for the exact same reason, just "on the opposite side of the political spectrum".
replyYou don’t see a difference between an organization and an individual?
replyNot in this instance. People don't stop being people when they join an organization. If we can recognize that getting ignored, suppressed, or met with hostility "discourages people from posting", why can't we recognize that it can also discourage organizations from posting?
