Haha I'm the owner of the site. Surprised it made it to hacker news. There's a whole world out there with countless stories unravelling that the naked eye can't see. I'm very happy to have had a special glimpse into one of these worlds.
If you've got the time, I'd like to get some reflective thought from you: Based on your glimpse, what did you learn about people, online communities, or morals and ethics that you believed or didn't consider before?
I wish I had something eloquent to say here. But what I've realized that the online world is not any lesser or greater than the real one, it's just a completely different one with it's own social dynamics. People impart virual actions on each other with real consequences.
Otherwise I don't think I have special insight into people's morals and ethics. People remain complicated. You just get a better chance to see them in a different light when you expose them to a different medium.
Can't wait to see how people will behave in VR worlds, if it were to take off ;)
Thank you for being honest in your answer. Often such questions feel to me like - so how does the wine taste, or the beer - it's fuckin' hard for me to describe - it usually goes - well bad, or good...
