Pretty sure the 2nd advisor isn’t actually a computer scientist/developer or if they are they are absolutely employed as Technical Sales for a consulting company. Otherwise their answer would have looked incredibly similar.

And they do not markup domain prices. You pay what they pay.

Because money.

When you sell to a big corporation their only goal is to milk every dollar possible.

And it will keep happening again and again until the system changes or people with more conscience than greed decide not to sell to the highest bidder.

It’s not good enough to be profitable. It’s good enough when your current workforce is at its breaking point because you can barely get the required work done. Then you announce record profits, the investment banks expect even more growth next quarter, the employees are thanked with a canned letter from the CEO for their hard work, you cut a division in half while increasing their work, hire a consulting firm that will do a crap job on a project but you don’t have to pay benefits, and then give your employees a negative review for poor time management of an impossible workload and do it all again.

I’m not jaded at all. :(

Well considering they are/were responding they may have just been spamming posts. Either way, incredibly annoying, especially with calling it OC.

Then stop claiming it’s OC with your post title. Not hard.

Edit - not sure if it’s an issue with my client or Lemmy - this comment was originally a reply to OP’s now deleted comment. Now showing as a reply to someone else (at least on my client).

This is not OC and probably is an unlabeled bot account. Check their post history.

If you are on their network they can see what you are doing. At the end of the day, the business will protect itself.

Do what you want at your own risk. But never assume that any company is on your side.

I have no issues with the 90 days in general. I just think this one instance is getting blown out of proportion. The post that was written made sense as to why they wanted to relocate. It didn’t seem like a powertrip or of malicious intent. And honestly, it would be a far worse experience to delete the community with essentially no explanation.

Now if they decide to hoarde it forever, sure, thats a different story. And trying to redirect every possible community to a single is another issue entirely.

But I think in this case what the mods did makes perfect sense and in general a principle of ‘if no activity from mods in X time then Y’ also makes sense. Everyone is just a bit jumpy right now.

Nothing says that the !android@lemmy.world will be locked forever. They wrote a well thought out post, pinned it, and encouraged people to move to their new home. No one was strong armed. No one needs to go make new accounts. Everyone needs to take a breath.

Would you rather they had deleted the community and said nothing? Everyone is up and arms over something that was created DAYS ago.
