follow-up Mastodon thread from the author: https://hackers.town/@lori/112255132348604770

Let’s look at events objectively.

Person A: Doesn’t like something and so publicly criticises it.

Person B: Asks for an opportunity to defend the thing and themselves.

Person A: Says no

Person B: Insists

Person A: Then posts about person B on social media in a defamatory manner.

Social Media: Well person B is a CEO, so it’s par for the course.

Me: Actually, it’s par for the course that someone be given the right to defend themselves

You: You’re victim blaming.

Me: 🥴


Honestly, I don’t give a shit either way. I don’t even know the name or URL of the search engine and I doubt I’ll ever meet Lori. I just posted my opinion on something that was in my feed. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Seems like you missed some things in your first read of the Mastodon thread. That might be why you’re not getting the response you’re expecting.

You still don’t get it.
