I know a reasonable amount about Peter Thiel from people who knew him before he was famous. That he was accepted in SV and could get people to work for him and became a pillar of the industry with ties to many other bigger names in tech (like Ellison) tells me a lot about the values of SV today.

I feel the loss of a voice I valued who was apparently run off by a mob. Should I fear a mob might come for me? I have an NYT sub and have no interest in ceding decision-making about what I read to anyone. If bsky wants to run me off, it's a quick so long.

The question can be asked sure. Asked repeatedly, it becomes harassment. Same person or repeated by many individuals, it's harassment. Is it ok to harass me if someone disagrees with me, feels offended or disagrees with some choice I make? Where's the line? Who draws it? Does mob make right?
