Mmm... well, if you're received what you consider to be toxic interactions on twitter, reddit and even here, but not on 4chan, have you considered that the common factor is perhaps not that all of these platforms are toxic...

...but that your views are considered problematic by quite a lot of people?

Perhaps that could be some cause for self reflection before you universally declare the entire platform here hostile and toxic.

What I consider problematic is the fact these people will organize massive efforts on Twitter to ruin other people's lives because they posted wrongthink. They make the 4chan raids I've seen look amateurish.

[qersist3nce]

Indeed. There is some downright grotesque "malice" in Twitter cancel-culture efforts. It's really strange they are not self-aware and call 4chan (~last bastion of free speech) toxic.

Yeah, 4chan is toxic and savage, but at least they are honest and humane in a candid kind of way.

The cyber-bullying's of 4chan is trash though...

[matheusmoreira]

Yeah. 4chan is supposed to represent people's unfiltered thoughts, what people really think when freed from social consequences. This produces a wider spectrum than what most people are used to seeing, both good and bad.

While 4chan posters occasionally get organized and manage to operate outside their borders, these incredibly malicious activities just aren't something I associate with them. They're the specialty of groups like kiwi farms who are responsible for the suicide of at least one video game console emulator developer. I was shocked when people told me about byuu's suicide here on HN.

People on 4chan will call you slurs and insults but it is never personal, part of it is due to the anonymous nature. People here will be personally vicious and hostile.

> ...but that your views are considered problematic by quite a lot of people?

You do not know what my views are. It's as if you are trying to prove me right honestly. (btw, I am not posting on reddit nor on twitter, nor 4chan for that matter)

Plus the same could be said for the toxic interactions that you had on there.

> Perhaps that could be some cause for self reflection before you universally declare the entire platform here hostile and toxic.

Again, same thing for you. "Perhaps that could be some cause for self reflection before you universally declare the entire platform there hostile and toxic."

> You do not know what my views are

I’m just going to politely remind you that on HN your entire comment history per account is public.

[h_anna_h]

I do not believe that you went through my comment history in the few minutes that it took for you to respond to me.

Also, something that I did not mention before

> ...but that your views are considered problematic by quite a lot of people?

This is not a justification for toxicity.
