after some further research, it became apparent that Discord staff could save a significant amount of money by changing S3 providers. The new bucket was set up, but when the time came to make the change NC refused to do it, even though he was not the one footing the bill.

There's a conspicuous absence of explaining why they wouldn't do it. What were their actual concerns? Did they not voice them or are they just being withheld?

NC refused to join the Discord to talk about solutions in real-time.

Why was this a requirement?

Did we vent in private? Sure.

And what did you say?

Did we dox or threaten? Fucking hell, no! And frankly I'm LIVID at even the suggestion that we did.

Well something clearly happened if his family was brought into it, so if you're going to skimp on the details, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to believe that.

The whole thing just comes back to the larger issue with discord: the record vanishes.
