Reddit must just have terrible developers. Like they havent paid them enough and it shows in the product. But its the most popular forum on the internet, so people use it anyways.

An an Amazon employee I can say this absolutely happens, and not only that, some managers really think they are upholding the Amazon bar by pipping people out early. "He didn't meet the bar" is something ive heard multiple times after someone was only a month on the job. Not only that, teammates often dont help eachother, old systems are extremely complex. There is very little sympathy, and massive data collection about employees and their productivity.

I work for Amazon as an SDE, in alot of cases working here is fine, but there are teams with absolutely barbaric management practices.

Large scale truth suppression

People are underestimating how much content disappears. But I think the long run is far more Thruthful, video of everything widely available, difficult for platforms to eradicate, and shattering to the large scale brainwashing

Pretty obvious this came from a lab. Theres no easy resolution to the problem though. Is the USA going to confront China? Spark a dangerous tension? They are meddling with technology that they dont respect, and we are all suffering the consequences

Because tech has alot of nerdy men online, who arent the demographic known for attracting women. Its absolutely relevant, the discussion is mostly suppressed. It will impact society in a big way though

Alot of popular discussions that become unsavory, i.e. discussions about incels and sexless men get removed from the front page. Basically hard truths that are hot topics for men in technology. HN generally avoids allowing controversial discussions about race, gender, discrimination, etc.

All of which I think is fine, this isnt really the medium for that. When a big event occurs, they allow the discussion, otherwise, things get downranked. I really dont think the downranking is by members, it usually happens too rapidly, and makes no sense given the number of replies occurring in the thread.
