I got banned from a bunch of subreddits because I had the nerve to leave a single comment in a conspiracy sub (I was calling one of them out). It was done by automods, no humans taking context into account. All of a sudden I got a stream of messages telling me I was banned.

The posting essentially says there is no risk than tosses out mercury and lead vapors which don’t exist in a HDD. Then it talks about the lead in solder. You’d have to vigorously rub and handle the solder on circuit boards to get any amount on your skin worth worrying about and then you just wash your hands. That risk is true of all boards that don’t use low or lead free solder. The whole comment is very hypothetical.

I used to hit some niche subreddits but after about a year the recycling of the same posts and the same predictable comments became mind numbing.
Don’t forget…
Pretty much the same shit you find on reddit. I have no problem with Linux though.
And a hearty F.U. to reddit
