Not unheard of to squat on domains to prevent them from being used for nefarious purposes. Not saying that is what he is doing, but unless he starts using them for racist purposes, I am not going to hold this against him.

Literally nobody asked your opinion of how he uses his domains. But thanks for your sage response. Please continue playing devils advocate in situations you're completely ignorant toward. It really benefits everyone.
Redditization of HN is impressive. Kcplate comment is totally fair and relevant, but it seems Swozey does not care about fair and relevant...
LOL "reddization of HN." I've been on HN for years before you. Maybe commenters should listen to the OPs better and stop playings devils advocate so much. Because especially in this specific scenario it is absolutely stupid.

Yeah, we've got a guy with essentially a right wing militia fortress on the border of TX who owns blatantly illegal-immigrant racist trope domains and it's not related at all. Some engineer who commonly talks infrastructure is just making all of this up because he's bored on HN this weekend. Who wouldn't squat on such gems as "molest.com" to keep them from being used?

Well, it is the internet after all.
