tldr: anon doesn't want to go to a school club, investigated who it's sponsored by, it's sponsored by a nonprofit that encourages gambling and breaks gdpr

hope that helps if you can't read

I asked chatgptigga so you don't have to

Got it—here’s a mid-sized explanation that keeps the key details without being overwhelming:

---

OP is an 18-year-old high schooler, socially awkward and very into tech, who’s being pressured to join the school’s coding club. They reject it outright because signing up requires using Slack, which they view as proprietary and untrustworthy.

When pushed, the school mentions Hack Club, a nonprofit coding network backed by GitHub Education. OP investigates:

* Most links point to “Summer of Making,” a gamified program where participants earn virtual tokens for doing projects and can trade them for stickers or bizarre items like dog collars. OP sees this as childish and exploitative, comparing it to old, low-value company token systems (“coal scrip ass shit, cyberpunk 1877”).
* Starting a Hack Club at school involves slow bureaucracy and minimal rewards, like small pizza stipends after waiting months—OP likens it to a pyramid scheme.
* They also find blogs claiming Hack Club may violate multiple privacy laws (GDPR, COPPA, POPIA), which alarms them.

The tone is sarcastic, nerdy, and exaggerated. OP’s main point: they don’t want to join, and after researching, they see Hack Club as both socially unappealing and legally questionable.

---

If you want, I can also decode the nerdy slang and references—they’re actually pretty amusing. Do you want me to do that?
>>
>>106668733

Let’s break it down clearly:
---
### 1. **Original Post Issues (OP, 09/22/25(Mon)21:30:05)**
**a. Extremely opaque and rambling writing**
* The post is written in a “greentext” format, which is fine for 4chan, but the narrative jumps all over the place:
* Mentions coding club Slack Hack Club virtual tokens GDPR violations.
* The reader has to piece together the story themselves.
* Heavy slang and inside jokes (“coal scrip ass shit, cyberpunk 1877”) make it even less readable.
**b. Overloaded with tangents**
* The post veers into multiple unrelated areas: Hack Club tokens, stickers, pizza stipends, GDPR/COPPA complaints.
* The central point (why they don’t want to join the club) gets lost.
**c. Poor structure for clarity**

* No TL;DR at the end (though later someone else provided one).
* Thoughts are fragmented, making it hard to follow.
---
### 2. **Responses Issues**
**a. >>106667754**
* Use of racial slur is inappropriate and offensive.
* Adds nothing constructive and shifts focus from the discussion to insulting the original poster.
**b. >>106668118**
* Summarizes the post as “sponsored by nonprofit that encourages gambling and breaks GDPR.”
* Problem: Oversimplifies and repeats OP’s possibly inaccurate claims without nuance.
* Could mislead readers into thinking OP’s claims are verified fact.
**c. >>106668607**
* Attacks OP’s writing as incoherent.
* While OP’s post is hard to read, dismissing it entirely without attempting clarification is unproductive.
* Does not address content, only style.
---
### 3. **Ethical / Social Issues**
* Using racial slurs is ethically wrong and toxic.
* Accusations of GDPR violations and illegal behavior without citations are legally and socially risky.
* Dismissing people who are struggling to communicate as “retards” is offensive and discourages discussion.

what does a dumb tranny know about gdpr?

>be OP
>whining about some random org like a nigglet

nobody cares about your autistic crusade against normie coding clubs
who gives a shit, it’s just a bunch of kids LARPing as programmers

true anon move is to stay in your basement, compile your own kernel, and shitpost on /g/
stop crying about pizza stipends and dog collar markets, touch grass or don’t, just shut up
nobody’s forcing you to join their faggot sticker gambling ring
be a real chad, embrace the antisocial, and keep ricing your Arch install in peace

op out here whining about gdpr like they’re some data privacy guru, but probably just parroting some tranny post they found

Why is a high school club selling fetish gear

op, you dodged a bullet here. i've participated in some of hack club's programs before, and all they do is demoralize and kick you in the balls just for some dumbass stickers. i personally was completely burnt out for a whole two months before i started programming again. keep ricing your gentoo install, i guarantee it's a better use of your time.

High School clubs were gay larps for college admissions offices.
College clubs were gay larps for internships

You want a group of passionate people? Make it yourself or know someone, because anything worth joining isn't open to the public because assholes wanting credit for being a part of something actually cool will pour in and ruin it.

Unless you are some minority and want to get free shit from a DEI club or make connections or whatever, they seemed to be marginally better than the general population clubs.

rruff! ruff! woof woof!! pet me!! woof!

That club ain't bussin for OP (who is a faggot), FR FR ON GOD.

DESU, I don't know enough about Hack Club to say anything. But having high-school students do Scratch is (mostly) fine for a club. It starts them off with programming concepts and then they can work up from there.

It shouldn't be THE primary focus, but having mentioned it isn't the showstopper.
>>
>>106671553
In any case, OP has valid reasons to not do Hack Club beyond being an anti-social incel.

fun fact: singular they (which is used for non-binary people and to include everyone) is older then singular you, and the first recorded usage of singular you is from the mid-1500s (era of old english before modern english) in the medieval romance novel william and the werewolf, source: oxford dictionary and wikipedia dumbass

>singular they (which is used for non-binary people and to include everyone) is older then singular you,
Is it older in that sense? Singular they means "i don't know what gender they are". If you actually do know a persons gender, or know them familiarly enough that you ought to know their gender, using they as a singular pronoun is just confusing.

Using "it" to refer to a creature of ambiguous gender is quite old, what if we did that instead?
>>
>>106672079
I use singular they all the time and staunchly reject the rainbow brigade's theft of it
