Flock is a YC company. I don’t think the resistance will be organized on HN in spite of its ostensibly hacker ethos
Well yeah, YC is a tech incubator plugged pretty deep into the SV hivemind, and the leading figures of it seemed to have decided that fascism is a better alternative to any kind of regulation on their activities.
There are enough normal people here it is still worth trying.
The hacker ethos of this site is gone. This website is so full of faux-intellectualism it's insane. Literally one of the top stories on the site right now is a basic chess concept, literally week 1 shit, called "Zugzwang". Not to mention all the Apple and Musk dickriders on this site, which is highly disturbing.
The ethos of this website is mostly just anarcho-capitalist but lacking in any foundation of even the most basic understanding of ideological concepts.
When it comes to Flock in particular I’ve been seeing a lot more in terms of resistance and pushback in local Reddit communities. At least in my cities sub I see posts regarding anti-flock messaging or related activities at least once a week now.
