I believe that Bluesky will fail. Which is sad because I feel they are trying to make things better.

The people who wanted to leave Twitter have pretty much left. The ones who are left are going to stay. Bluesky have spent too long living in the weeds, with designing and building, and the momentum has been lost.

I hope I'm wrong. And this is only my opinion.

Glad I was sitting down when I read that. Nobody could have predicted that Instagram would only pay lip service to removing harmful content /s

Meta is one of the Evil Corp who is killing people, and destroying lives, through pursuit of profit. It's goal is to frame the health and well-being of people and society to allow advertisers reach a bigger, better and an easier manipulated audience.

I know it's a cliché, and I don't use this often as things have many sides, but I do wonder how people justify this to themselves and what they see when they look in the mirror.

Always. Follow. The money.

"The decision to shut down Keen is in line with Google's shift away from social media and follows a trend of Area 120 projects closing due to company restructuring and layoffs in 2023them killing everything they build."

Let's have tab rows back first, shall we? Reverting to CSS that you break every damn release is just stupid.

That makes a little more sense. Support would lend itself to chat speeds better I think. If you need help with an issue its usually urgent.

It's not something I would use but I can see the benefit.

I don't understand what you're asking.

You want to setup Lemmy on Telegram? But instead of forum messages that I can read and respond to when I have time, you want it to be instant chat type messages?

I'm confused. If they're are already channels on Telegram for things that Lemmy covers (you mention FOSS channels), then what are you proposing to cover? Why can't we just use Telegram for those things we want to chat about? What are you doing differently?

Lemmy / Reddit / forums are a a different experience to instant chat. If I want instant chat I can find it. Again, confused by what you are proposing.

I have nothing to add here, I just wanted to say thank you for these interesting details. An upvote didn't feel like enough.

Volvo was sold, some time ago, and is now owned by a Chinese car company.

That depends on how you look at it.

You okay love? You need a hug?

This is perhaps the stupidest response I've read on Lemmy for a while. Nobody is entitled to an opinion these days.

Im expecting a response, quoting each paragraph I wrote, with only 'For you' as the text.

"India internet"

What does this even mean?

Not everything is an algorithm or ratios. Hopefully you know that.

This is just straight up wrong.

It's not but you do you.

You obviously had an issue with the statement as-made by the CEO.

Go back and read what I wrote. I never wrote that.

The question you’re dodging is essentially “how different would it have to be for you to not have the issue you’re having right now?”

Read what I wrote. You'll find your answer in there.

Unless, of course, you’d just be angry no matter what. If this is the case, it would easily explain why you’re throwing out non-answers and superfluous catty dialogue.

If you don't read what I'm saying, me repeating it again, isn't going to help that.

I do. Very important. That's not what happened here.

I don't believe showing up, making a statement and then fucking off again is any kind of 'discussion' or 'taking responsibility'. It's PR.

Paying lip service to recurring issues (and this seems to have escaped people: this has happened multiple times) that are damaging people, is not taking responsibility. It's PR.

What's the questions-to-answers ratio to make it acceptable to write "CEO here" in a topic, in your opinion?

Not everything is an algorithm or ratios. Hopefully you know that.

How much and what would he need to post so damage control would have been done (and successfull) in your eyes?

See above.

Just asking in case I become a CEO and see someone having a solvable issue with my company's sercice.

Theres a solvable issue when your site doesn't deploy. And then theres repeated issues that cause you to send life changing / threatening bills to customers.

If you think they should be treated the same, let me know when you become CEO so I can avoid your business as well.

Good luck with your career though.

The AI thinks so.

And that's all he posted. I think he responed to one of two comments and then ignored everything else. I really dislike that 'CEO here', 'I'm important, listen to me' means that always ends up on HN. Then they disappear like their mere response to the post is enough. After all, they're very important people.

If he thought 'damaged control done' he was sadly mistaken.

I host my site on Netlify. I'm moving. If they think that it's acceptable to bill somebody $104k for a small site, at all, without it tripping some alarm for a human to look at before it goes out, then they're doing it wrong. Something that says 'Month 1 bill = $20; Month 2 bill = $104,000' could be a problem isn't difficult to do. And that they have 'done this often' (my words) highlights it's a problem.

There are many bullshit hosting companies out there I can use who don't do this sort of thing. Why is Netlify special.

HP is so desperate for money that this is what they need to do to survive.

What does HP (hardware) actually do these days? Where do they compete (and I mean compete, not have products in)?

They ruined Compaq.

They killed their golden goose printing business with bullshit like this.

They killed their server hardware business with bullshit like locking software, drivers and firmware behind support contracts.

As somebody who always bought HP and advocated for their hardware (many years ago), I would never buy anything they make today.

I have never come across a community that had so many moderator posts. I also have never come across a moderator who liked the sound of their own voice so much.

Glad they are gone.

Hopefully there will be some actual content in here going forward to replace the drama.
