Genuinely curious, because I feel like I'm missing something - the owner is apparently disillusioned by nobody caring, but why were people supposed to care in the first place?
If only. Like religion there are many sects of trolls. Including:
* Stupid trolls
* Sexist trolls
* Racist trolls
* Homophobic trolls
* Yo mama trolls
* Anal sphincter trolls
* and random specific trolls too many to mention
There's not enough space in my headspace for all that anymore.
I never had heard of this before lol and 5 minutes ago wondered where it was at so I searched it up and found this. For what it matters I'm sorry people are like that. Posting on Febuary 25th 2023 at 7:28 EST from NE Ohio
It seems like a person who is not really technically trained. He got a good sounding domain and a bit of popularity and battled through trolls all these years - then popularity (and questionable usefulness) faded, the joy/stress ratio quickly became not worth it.
I get that this person must be stressed, but this decision does not have much useful morale. A bit like this HN post - catchy name, but not much substance.
Is the owner saying the site is closing down, or something else.
Seems like a nice idea, but maintaining a site like that probably is a ball-ache, definitely want to find some users that are really into a site like that so you can delegate some moderation.
