Please stop using HN for political battle. I had to go back almost three weeks to find a post like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25502390. When accounts start using HN for political flamewar, we ban them, regardless of which politics they're battling for. It's not what HN is for.
I'm not. It's just that it happens that something relatively significant regarding politics and technology happened lately, and it's top of mind for my commenting.
I was "deplatformed"--aka fired--from my tech job a couple months ago for political views. This is not a neutral issue.
Thankfully I can retire, but not all people are so lucky. What's sad is that after 24 years of coding day and night, this issue so significant I refuse to continue to work in the tech industry. I love technology, but we're at the point where this industry isn't about technology any longer.
