See, this is why I find it odd that you say LW doesn't lean right. Because providing a "safe place" for neoreactionaries would, I think, generally be regarded -- even by people who consider themselves right-wing -- as evidence of either (1) rightishness or (2) fanatical refusal to make anyone unwelcome on account of their sociopolitical views.
I would like to point out the asymmetry hidden by the word "safe space". A space is Neoreactionary-hostile if it actively censors their posts and deletes their accounts, a space is SJW-hostile if it fails to censor and delete the accounts of all other view points.
This reminds me of the old Cold War era joke:
An American and a Russian are discussing their respective countries. The American says "In America there is free speech, anyone can go up to the White House, yell 'down with Reagan' and everything will be OK". The Russian replies "Well in Russia we also have free speech, anyone can go up to the Kremlin, yell 'down with Reagan' and everything will be OK".
A space is Neoreactionary-hostile if [...], a space is SJW-hostile if [...]
That would indeed be an amusing and silly asymmetry. However, you just made it up; it is neither what I said nor what I meant.
There are some long lists of false beliefs that programmers hold. isn't because programmers are especially likely to be more wrong than anyone else, it's just that programming offers a better opportunity than most people get to find out how incomplete their model of the world is.
I'm posting about this here, not just because this information has a decent chance of being both entertaining and useful, but because LWers try to figure things out from relatively simple principles-- who knows what simplifying assumptions might be tripping us up?
The classic (and I think the first) was about names. There have been a few more lists created since then.
Time. And time zones. Crowd-sourced time errors.
Addresses. Possibly more about addresses. I haven't compared the lists.
Gender. This is so short I assume it's seriously incomplete.
Networks. Weirdly, there is no list of falsehoods programmers believe about html (or at least a fast search didn't turn anything up). Don't trust the words in the url.
Distributed computing Build systems.
Poem about character conversion.
I got started on the subject because of this about testing your code, which was posted by Andrew Ducker.
