Are you really justifying making hundreds of thousands of people depressed, just because they didn't make millions of people depressed? The distances people will go here to defend Facebook are literally insane.

Making even one single person depressed on purpose is 100% pure evil. Hundreds of thousands of people depressed is a massive crime against humanity. There are sources all over the internet for this. Also I do not think Facebook had 2B+ users in 2014 or so when the "study" to hurt people was done - but that doesn't matter anyway.

> This is negligible and honestly not statistically significant enough.

300,000 depressed people doesn't matter to you? It's not statistically significant? What do you even mean by this? This is literally the most offensive thing I have ever read in my life.

> Also calling $FB not successful is laughable? On what grounds can you actually say this?

Yes I am. On the grounds that it is based on revenue from stolen money, illegally gotten gains through criminal behaviour and morally wrong actions. Not only that it is dirty money driving that price up, but it's so early in FB's days it doesn't make sense to call the stock successful yet.

For the nth time, would you please stop posting overwrought rants to HN? Few people would disagree with you that this is an important topic and I imagine most of us mostly agree with your views. But that's obviously not as important as preserving this place for substantive discussion, and what you're doing breaks it badly.

We need you to stop this habit of going beyond the pale if you want to keep commenting here. We like you and don't want to ban you but if you keep ignoring our warnings and requests about breaking the site guidelines, what choice are we going to have? So please fix this.

In case it helps, here is how I have tried to fix this in my own case: (1) notice when my system is agitated; (2) don't post until I am less agitated; (3) go over my comment after it's up and edit out any leftovers.
