That's why I provided 18 citations for that claim in the first paragraph

If you read through some of my other stuff, I mostly document controversy in the open source community. OSS developers being taken advantage of and loosing is just the norm, the only thing unique here is that the donation platform itself was doing that instead of the users

I cannot maths sometime 😩

I must confess that you're the first person to tell that to me — English class was always a disaster! The only thing I can point to is practice: I have a blog here that I write at regularly. The other component might be luck? They say that a broken clock is right twice a day and I'm inclined to agree.

In any case, thank you!

fuck this country man

Right? like the probably 50-100k they stole in total is whatever, but the fact they stole it from underpaid OSS developers and generous community members is disgusting.

I might apply for funding to research the real number that was stolen...

Sure! I've been meaning to depoy hedgedoc for a while now and this seems like a good use. Here you go: https://doc.boehs.org/s/socials

Edit 2: You can also verify by asking at any of the methods in https://boehs.org/contact

I agree these claims are a little crazy, but not actually that crazy. Did a little digging and

that the most redditors were in the town where Eglin Air Force base is located

Hi! I wrote this <3

I don’t think so, the password was randomly generated

My main has 10s of thousands of karma from a different time in my life and it’s not banned

No

Username is completely clean. It was something along the lines of “BeautifulPuppies”.

Is that you Jia Tan?

Sorry I missed this! Thank you so much for reading, subscribing, and considering a donation! (no pressure on that last one though lol)

Thanks for reading <3

Thank you!

Why would people be against them

For posterity, the post in reference is this

Why are community subscriber counts different when watched from different instances?

I created two accounts on two different instances and all the communities I see have different subscriber counts depending from which account I look. Why does that happen and how can I see the real subscriber count?

i'm having trouble understanding how this isn't a support request. It's a (Why|How) <confusion with lemmy that has a single answer>.

. This seems to be a post that would help many understand

Yeah, all the support posts are like this. We get the same five over and over, but this community is not for support. I wouldn't keep questions about knitting in !woodworking@lemmy.ca because they are helpful. This is simply not the place, unfortunately.

Why do you think it's not a support post?
