Some tech assholes in Silicon Valley read “Don’t Create the Torment Nexus” as an instruction manual, but they’re not the only ones. Variations:
“My Torment Nexus is Open Source and Any Humanities People Complaining Are Just Too Lazy to Learn to Code so They Can Be Smart Like Me and Take Part in This Conversation”
“The Only Torment Nexus Here is a San Francisco Hackerspace Without a Code of Conduct”
“Sovereign, EU-Funded Torment Nexus”
“What You are Referring to as the Linux Racism Machine is Well Actually the GNU/Linux Racism Machine…”
