Fuck, I lost!

Did you read the article? What are you trying to say?

Just after Summer Game Fest finished, the anti-woke gamers found a new target: a report at IGN, which credibly and comprehensively lays out a history of sexism at the developer of upcoming Planet-of-the-Apes-meets-Sekiro action game Black Myth: Wukong. The response – surprise! – was to go after the woman who wrote it, while also spinning up a ludicrous conspiracy theory that IGN was blackmailing the developer.

Targeted harassment of a journalist isn't, "reviewing products poorly." I went to go find an example of exactly what was being slung their way, but they took their whole profile private.

We will continue to use Bugzilla, moz-phab, Phabricator, and Lando.

Although we'll be hosting the repository on GitHub, our contribution workflow will remain unchanged and we will not be accepting Pull Requests at this time.

The cool thing about distributed version control is that it's distributed. It sounds like GitHub will just be a public remote, rather than the place where active development happens.

Krita looks nice.

I mean, turning on Penis sounds pretty low-effort to me.

Ingress and egress costs are real and those assholes attached images to their spam. Hundreds of posts coming in at 700kb a pop does damage if you're relying on a cloud provider to store your shit. Then, it gets accessed by all your users.

Billing alarms go bing bing bing.

Preface: I appreciate the sentiment, fuck Microsoft.

1. Projects typically aren't "hosted" on code repositories like GitHub.
2. Because the underlying version control technology, git, is meant to be distributed - it's super weird to draw that line in the sand. It's like saying "show me TXT files written with SublimeText, I hate Notepad++!"
3. I get that you might want to, like, judge a developer for using github? But, like... features are features. Build minutes are build minutes. If you fork a repo and use GitLab to manage it, does that make the project better?

totally ignoring matters such as their usage stats

The author asked multiple devs about these things - they all had the same reply: Can't talk about it because NDA.

more importantly the content itself that is now flat-out missing from Reddit. Go to any old thread and you’ll see the “this content has been removed by” (whichever of the automated software to remove posts was used in that case) messages.

That's not the stated objective of the article, which was "Exploring Reddit’s third-party app environment."

Honestly it reads like a shill to promote Reddit as in “hey, all that fuss was for nothing - you should totally come back now”.

No, it doesn't. You don't call it an "APIcalypse" if you're shilling for Reddit. You don't pull out the most critical quote right at the top if you want to shill for Reddit. ("I don’t believe Reddit’s leadership... cares about developers anymore.") You don't mention Lemmy, or Threads, or Tildes if you're shilling for Reddit.

You admit that you're biased; good, thank you. This article isn't.

Should people be able to (down/)vote in communities they dont subscribe?

Yes.

If your admins consider down-voting an act of hostility, maybe they should disable down-voting on the instance. Did they consider the possibility that those accounts they banned were bilingual, and simply prefer to interact in English?

Without the context of the post, the actors, etc. it's hard to justify a position other than, "this is working as intended." Randos bulk downvoted a post, the spike in downvotes prompted mod action. Everyone got to participate and suffer the consequences of their participation.

"We don't know how to rate limit our API or set billing alarms in the AWS console."

Let me save everyone the trouble:

1. Go Brandon.
2. I identify as [inanimate object].

That's it, that's all they got.
