   A minor positive milestone for me: today was (I think?) the first time in the 18 years that Hacker News has existed that the site’s conversation about something I wrote didn’t end up being largely derailed by some dudes’ feelings about me. A wonderful benefit of my fading visibility.

     @stubbornella yeah, I think the male equivalent of this is having no longer been seen as a threat. I don’t get folks crossing the street or whatever nearly as much. Strange milestones.

     @anildash I have to admit loving the anonymity and lack of trolls in my life since the fading began.

     Weirdly, that’s also how it feels to be a woman past street harassment age
