Someone here pointed out that one of the developers on the project is actually the primary developer's vtuber persona.

That's literally it.

Someone in the project considers HN not a safe-space for queer viewpoints / racist / homophobic.

I am very much at a loss as well as this has never been my experience.

A lot of the arguments started with "when you enable showdead, there's lots of dead comments of people being vile".

Just not sure what to say.
