    > filter to auto-hide all posts with high negative sentiment

    You might just be witnessing the backlash to YC's increased investment in defense and surveillance companies. In general, the startup pendulum is shifting away from the populist B2C status quo we used to have during the SaaS days.

      You're one of the biggest reasons I built the filter to be honest. At this point, if I see you and a couple of other commentators comment I may as well just auto-hide the entire discussion.

      There are a couple accounts that have deeply polarized sentiment and patterns of speech and yours is one of them. I haven't extended it to comments and commenters yet, and if I did I would.

      But in the interim please stop chatting with me and vice versa. I have better stuff to do with my time and other people IRL and on this platform whose opinions and pushback I prefer.
