If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

This is silly to me. So you're happy working for free at a private company, but not a public one? The fact that them going public was known for a while was fine? The lack of care they showed you as a private company while taking the shitty concrete steps to go public were all fine?
If yu want to take a hard look at your role, when the last revolt during the API changes happened, the revolt failed because mods like you wouldn't stand up. So it's funny to me to see what the "final straw" is for you, because in the grand scheme of things, it seems like nothing.
I certainly don't understand why you would move to another place in the Internet and announce this silly view.
No need to be an asshole about it, the important thing is that he moved on, the path he took is not relevant.
I didn't think I was being an asshole. The questions I asked were genuine, and I think I was pretty neutral with pointing out how OP shares blame in the situation they are in.
And, through all that, i summed it up with how silly this whole situation is - especially when you look at how OP is responding in the thread. This comes across as a "look at me, I did something good, tell me how nice I am" post. Given the rest of the situations context, just ugh.
"This is silly to me". Followed by a bunch of snide questions.
"the revolt failed because mods like you wouldn't stand up". Throwing blame on someone that did nothing that harmed you directly, and that even assumes a niche mod would have had any impact in the results at all.
"I certainly don't understand why you would move to another place in the Internet and announce this silly view." Then you go on to call them silly again, and criticize them for making a post in the proper C/ for that kind of venting.
Then your entire comment here is repeating that, doubling down on the same thighs, and then accuse them of begging for attention.
I get it. You didn't think you were being an asshole. You were. To avoid that in the future, try not using language that denigrates, belittles, or dismisses someone, and you are much less likely to end up being an asshole. And you 100% were being an asshole. If there were a textbook in being an asshole online, your two comments could serve as perfect examples of how to do it without resorting to cursing. That's pretty much the only thing you could have done to make it worse without going entirely off topic.
One asshole to another? You gotta either learn not to be an asshole, or own that shit and not pretend you aren't.
I can agree with your point, the API changes should have been the breaking point. Keep in mind there's going to be a lot of different final straws for people though, it is inevitable as traditional social media collapses into itself. The best time was yesterday, the next best is now.
I totally get that - but coming to another platform to announce it is just funny to me, and I think the questions I asked at the start were valid and I'm genuinely curious about the answers.
