* Foone likes to do tweet storms and not blogs and some people on HN have a "Why isn't this a blog?" sentiment which is bothersome to foone.
* HN scraping bots on twitter mention foone which is bothersome to foone.
* HN community frequently assumes he/him for foone. Foone goes by they/them. This does not seem to bother foone on its own, but HN commenters correcting HN commenters about how foone goes by they/them sometimes leads to grammatical argument about using they as a singular pronoun which is bothersome to foone.
* Generally, discourse beyond "whoops sorry!" about he/him/they/them is bothersome to foone.
* Elements of HN discourse represent larger problems of male-dominant sexism that are trenchant in technology, which are bothersome to foone.
On the plus side, at least right now as I write this (the post has been up for 5 hours, with 96 comments), there is, in this HN post:
* No mention of the Twitter thread being better as a blog post, and someone has already posted a Thread Reader App link with the thread unrolled.
* A single instance of someone getting corrected for misgendering, but with no follow-ups or toxic discussion around it.
So maybe things are getting better?
But really, though, I just kinda find foone's annoyance about being posted on HN to be annoying in and of itself. The bot @-mentions I agree are annoying (and I don't know of a good solution; playing ban whack-a-mole every time a new one pops up is lame to have to do), but the other bits have a simple solution: don't read the HN comments. I know sometimes it's hard to resist the temptation, but I personally appreciate these foone threads getting posted here (as I don't really use Twitter much, so I wouldn't otherwise see them). And it's just a little weird to criticize people for linking to something you posted on the web, since linking is what the web is for.
