@lemmy.worldSimilar story:
I was in Medellin, Colombia, outside of the football stadium, trying to see where the rest of our friends were at before heading inside. A guy came up and was saying he was a big fan of one of the teams playing. He lifted his shirt to show me a really shitty tattoo of the team logo. I noticed there was a knife in his wasteband, but I was distracted because I was looking for friends. He asked for me for money and I casually said, "No, Gracias." and walked away. He started yelling at me with a lot of fun Colombian bad words. I was wondering why he was so mad and as I was walking away, I realized he was trying to threaten me with the knife.
There were a lot of people around and police all around us. Really ballsy on his part for even attempting something like that there.
If I did that in a different situation, I probably would have been stabbed.
Or genius. New company idea. Sell data from the start and share revenue with contributors.
My two take aways from the article
TL; DR We're making a lot of money, but we could be making more if we fuck over 120,000 people that built the thing that is making money.
I managed a support team of about 30 people at a fully remote company. I'd check their numbers of closed cases, review cases when customer feedback was bad, and take into account any other side projects they were working on.
Praise when people did good and have one on one talks with people that were falling behind to see what the cause was so we could work on it. It's not that hard.
I agree. If the majority of instances decide to defederate, it will send a message that it isn't worth it to join the Fediverse if it is a hostile place to Meta.
I pay for a seed box that is powerful enough to run a Plex server and comes with 8TB of storage for a little more than a Netflix subscription. I'll stick with that.
