icymi tl;dr i did an ama on reddit last week and it turned into a complete cesspit of toxicity with 4k+ comments from the troll brigade demonstrating perfectly why i'm working on @blockpartyapp_ and also why silicon valley culture is so fucked blockparty.substack.com/p/ask-me-anyth… 1/
obviously the great irony is that i got harassed by these thousands of reddit trolls because i am working on anti-harassment software with @blockpartyapp_. it was horrific and traumatizing blockparty.substack.com/p/ask-me-anyth… 2/
