Like, do they not worry about people just editing everything and inserting porn or something? I doubt that they were smart enough to use branch protection. To be fair, when you're sending a mass spam campaign, you already don't worry about your reputation anyway lol

Reading the context of the YC post (post link is broken), this doesn’t seem like a thing I’d brag about. Sounds like you were just being kind of an asshole, as well as intolerant. There are more amusing and less trollish ways to white/greyhat platforms to encourage people to fix them.

Yep I was trolling zed.

However, accusations of homophobia and sexism are dumb and unfounded, as I’m actually gay.

I was also 20 so… find me one person who didn’t do cringy shit as a kid and I’ll give you a million dollars.
