I'm glad that Bluesky is seeing a boost in user registration and X is loosing users. Great news for the fediverse, even though Bluesky is fediverse-lite.

However, the editor that chose that headline should be fired.

The ambiguous wording and lack of commas for the "of unhappy x users" probably boosts engagement though. So I guess TechCrunch's bottom line gets boosted and they'll get praise instead.

Great news is that I'm using this bullshit to switch over all my PCs to Linux.

Am I supposed to cheer him on or laugh at him for being weird?

This is great news.

However highlighting the "enormous amount of effort" came off as immflamatory as a headline. Now to prove to them that we appreciate the effort they put into this.

I too grew up in the in that era. But grew up in the Detroit area where nearly everybody knew something about cars due to how many people worked in the auto industry and how the knowledge was prevelant and shared amongst friends and peers. Auto shops were still a thing, but largely used for jobs nobody wanted to do, didn't have access to the tools, or didn't have the time to invest

Gotta love jobs that treat their staff like children.

Nah.

Ozoma was the original Monk but after a bunch of push back they actually self-reflected and engage in good faith.

I like Ozoma, even if they have some uninformed and/or idealistic views at times.

I'm glad my employer said, "you've been working hard. I comped you a day so you can rest and recover.", the last time I wasnt feeling well (allergies got the best of me and I was a mess). Even though I've accrued nearly 2-weeks of sick time at this point.

I'm fortunate that I don't work for a shitty company anymore.

Man, if it wasn't for the antagonistic shit riddled throughout that post I'd engage and cheer him on. And the way he talks about his girlfriend in that post is a little worrisome. He's doing that same antagonistic shit when talking about her.

He's so clearly got main character syndrome and believes the world is out to get him. If he took the time to be self reflective in his personal interactions as much as he did about his physical health he might be a person I could actually engage with.

Do not treat neuro divgerent people with training wheels.

I'm neuro divgerent and it pisses me off when people treat me differently. Yeah, I've got my shit, and I often need things explained to me with clear guidelines, rules, and expectations.

But one thing my neuro divergence doesn't grant me is the ability to act like a shit stain and get away with it while prodding everybody around me antagonisticly.

Which makes your community toxic and your job harder.

How many reports did you get and have to filter through and ultimately ignore? If that's not an indicator from your community that something needs to change you're not listening to our needs.

Yes, but when there's literally thousands of posts and comments to build the "between the lines" data within a 30-day time frame what excuse is there?

When somebody is trolling so hard that it's causing strife within your community it should be addressed. Identify the behavior that isn't desired and enforce existing rules around it or create a new one and warn the person that they need to operate in good faith within the rules or they will be ousted as an antagonistic troll.
