HN is very confused as to why 🥺 is called "the bottom emoji" and has linked to a discussion about a @cadey article about the sudo replacement thing: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34777553

@cadey Of course someone is advocating for UTF-32 in the comments, because HN exists in a wormhole.

I must be the only cis straight white dude on the list of authors that get insta-deranked on HN (yes we're all friends, we discuss the gender agenda while having drinks that have umbrellas on them)This is the system working as intended tbqh: the conservative mob reports anything that has furries / anything queer in it, it gets sent to the bottom, moderators can only act too late, if at all.This is what these folks think "professionalism" is. Keep those gates down my dudes, lest you learn anything new.

Or it's this sophisticated flamebait detector system I just learned about:"At this exact moment, there's 49 points, but 45 comments. If comments >= points, you get a significant ranking penalty (the "flamebait detector", iirc). I can't say for sure that that's happened, but given how close the two numbers are, I bet at some point that was true."Gotta be careful with that delicate machinery.

@fasterthanlime I read up to the point where it says "rust-anal<tab>" remembered the article was about the "bottom emoji" then re-read "rust-anal<tab>" laughed for a minute, then came back here to write this comment ðŸ¤
