Mean People Suck, Folks (reddit.com)
I've been using Emacs since 1983; it's been my go-to editor the entire time. I've given talks on it, recorded videos, and generally have promoted it forever.

This happened to me just today.

Ask HN: Where do you browse and chat outside of here? (ycombinator.com)
I used to really enjoy reddit but find it toxic and too “mainstream” recently so I moved to Lemmy but it’s quiet and kept a lot of redditism. I’ve been enjoying reading HN daily but want to read more than 20-30 top posts. I like the general kind attitude and professionalism as well as the interesting topics.
