hot* take: not everything needs to be inclusive and not every product/brand/platform needs to make everyone happy



*reasonable, common take that most people won’t say out loud these days

Great read. I wonder if there's any way to weight down those "grievance-as-a-lifestyle" comments. Kinda makes sense to me that if you're only able to stand *against* things and don't have anything you stand *for*, comments from those people don't really have much value and should be weighted down appropriately

Dev. Writing "The Marketing Compass" newsletter, themed around marketing from first principles to help fellow devs learn to attract users and customers

this is one of the problems - the exact type of people that'd participate in this type of discourse often tend to be the folks that make these types of "grievance-as-a-lifestyle" comments. weighing them down means not having a discourse at all - hence you see a lot of websites not having comment sections these days

Right, I think websites like NPR (the example in the article) have the luxury to disable comments if they realize the comments is overly serving their small percentage of shouting class readership. 
Do social media platforms like bird apps have that luxury as well? Or maybe this will be up to FC clients as a feature?
