A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Let's look at events objectively.

Person A: Doesn't like something and so publicly criticises it.

Person B: Asks for an opportunity to defend the thing and themselves.

Person A: Says no

Person B: Insists

Person A: Then posts about person B on social media in a defamatory manner.

Social Media: Well person B is a CEO, so it's par for the course.

Me: Actually, it's par for the course that someone be given the right to defend themselves

You: You're victim blaming.

Me: 🥴


Honestly, I don't give a shit either way. I don't even know the name or URL of the search engine and I doubt I'll ever meet Lori. I just posted my opinion on something that was in my feed. 🤦🏾‍♂️

"Objective" timeline
Omits the repeated communications that are the source of the discourse

Seems like you missed some things in your first read of the Mastodon thread. That might be why you're not getting the response you're expecting.

You still don't get it.
