Any source for "racism and hate-speech in [Slashdot]"?


Slashdot comments section is the source.

I have not used it since 2019, but at that point it was still rife with hate speech directed towards the chinese, the russian, and generally black and brown people.

And I do not have a curated journal of this ready for your inspection, you simply have to trawl the comments section yourself. That way you don't have to take my word for it.


Then maybe you should provide that context: that this is simply your own opinion based on observing user comments, rather than an objectively established fact.

How do you determine that comment curation that fails your own standards is "willful ignorance" on behalf of the owner?


I would say that language involving derogatory names for black people, arabs, russians, and asians, would always be objective established as racism. I don't know why anyone would disagree with that.

And I reported hundreds of comments with language like this over the years, and whenever I followed up on it I always found the comments still present in the discussion thread.
