Thanks, I didn't notice that before. Looking at the modlog, I'm guessing may have actually been for the use of a t*rd suffix ... I think? The log doesn't really get specific enough.

Yet, in the thread I presumed it was for, another user not only used a full-on r-word but also directed it at another user. They are still active and posting.

Hmm....

Where do you find this info?

Well, I'm here, aren't I?

It should say "fuck reddit" where they join hands.

I mourn what it was, yes.

There was a recent comment I read about how it's become this incredible resource for the most obscure tech issues and they were reluctant to delete their posts and accounts because they'd receive random messages of thanks years after a tech resource post was made.

And it's true. Reddit has become an invaluable resource for these kinds of things. Not only that, but it's one of the few places that exists on the web where cohesive and coherent discussions even exist. It was always the community and discussion that made reddit great and they want to turn it into yet another swipebait infested serotonin sponge. I sincerely hope lemmy can take its place, but there are going to be some major growing pains if we get big influx of "redfugees."

It almost makes me think that when something becomes such an enormous and invaluable public resource, there should be a legal compulsion to archive it before doing anything that will compromise its accessibility.___

After hearing the call audio — and I am not defending spez here — I can actually understand how it might have been initially perceived as a "threat" given the context of the conversation. It was a mix of technical and financial negotiations (or really just spez saying "this is how it is, you can suck it") and Christian was speaking metaphorically about Apollo's API calls being "noisy" and (at least how I understood it) was suggesting perhaps "quiet" it down by optimizing the software.

I am not trying to victim blame here and it absolutely does not excuse spez turning around and publicly shit talking Christian, especially after spez immediately apologized on the call after admitting to misinterpreting what he heard ... anyway, the point I'm trying to make is that it's important to communicate clearly, directly, and unambiguously.

The headline is still that spez is a greedy sack of shit.

Particularly in the way that lemmy isn't finance bro bullshit

Reddit following in their footsteps shortly after

I'm feeling rather smug and justified telling my clients to keep files on a local server that they control rather than ~~"the cloud"~~ someone else's computer.

You can sub and comment on other instances without registering on each one. However, there is a bit of a fragmented experience when viewing context from your inbox.

Except more and more companies are hopping on this gravy train because they can get away with it. At some point (and that point may be now already, depending on the sector), it's going to be difficult-to-impossible to buy anything without this subscription bullshit.

Anything that doesn't incur an ongoing cost to provide should be legally prohibited from being sold as a "subscription."
