It's like moving from Coke to Pepsi. Similar enough in it's own way. It's definitely better than the other budget alternatives

That's a good conspiracy! I call dibs on the next one

Maybe after an actual investigation into these allegations. Taking things at face value and grabbing pitchforks has never worked

I feel a good majority of people are just in the outrage phase and there's literally no response that would have been good enough.

I remember ages ago websites were all focused on "works best on Internet Explorer" or "please use Netscape for the best experience"

We managed a good solid decade after that where browsers all somewhat caught up to each other and now we're going back that way again, with each website just YOLO implementing APIs that aren't fully supported (with no polyfils or fallbacks)

When you did that back in IE7/8/9, you missed out on rounded corners or drop shadows, now whole parts of apps won't work unless you're on chrome 🤯

Matrix is great, reminds me of a more secure discord. At least this one can be bothered to even try implementing end to end encryption

Doesn't matter about the downvotes. These are the type of people who were frothing at the mouth back when Reddit detectives "found" the Boston bomber (they didn't actually and them jumping to conclusions made the situation worse)

The allegations are appalling, but that's all they are, allegations.

LMG definitely needs to come out with a statement about her claims but until then it might be worth reminding yourself that you don't know the full story.

Definitely two sides to the story so the best approach is not to take everything at face value and pre-judge the situation. People should remember how reddit detectives "found" the Boston bomber and how that all turned out for everyone.

LMG needs to tell their side of the story and until then I'll keep the guillotine at home

Can't ask that stuff on here mate, this thread is for shitting on Linus and taking Madisons words at face value. I'm not about to lick LMG's asshole, but you'd think if this were an endemic culture issue that there would be several reports from previous employees (especially if the behavior is as abhorrent as she alleges)

Exactly this ^

Until there's actual evidence put forward (and not just her word), I'll happily defer pulling out the guillotine and grabbing my pitch fork.

I get the community as a whole is rightfully shitty with how LMG has handled themselves over the last week, but I'm certainly not taking her accusations alone at face value, regardless of how abhorrent they are

Yeah I get the various other critiques others have for this video but complaining about the "potential sex jokes" is a stretch.

It should be it's own topic of discussion. It makes sense why they're trying to control the comments on that video specifically.

They are least released a video outlining their plan going forward, that's immensely better than other times where they've stuck their head in the sand. Be keen to see how this one pans out

If they ever have a data breach I'm sure they'll totally do right by the consumer also 🙄

Wouldn't trust this clown with my digital words, let alone a copy of my actual ID

It's an integral part of online content, being able to both upvote and downvote. I'm amazed how it's still so divisive given that it's been the norm for over a decade on Reddit

Probably not by whipping out the guillotine. There's a few reasonable steps before that.

They may have well awarded 150 billion dollars worth of damages. There's no way it'll ever be paid so what's the goal here? Showcase an astronomical amount as a flex?

That's just not Reich!

We just doubled our numbers somehow! Look at all these new users joining the fediverse 😅

I feel that if LMG looked at this product and thought "hey this is really dogshit", the decent thing to do would have been to go back to billet and tell them we can't cover it at all (and cop the loss of few hours as part of running an ethical business)
