The shitstorm of a fallout has pushed the community behind Billet Labs more than they ever would have gotten had they just gotten reviewed properly. It may have sucked what had happened but I think they will be better off in the long term now that people are aggressively supportive of them. Funny twist of fate in my opinion.
Yeah we can agree they both could’ve done better. A lesson learned for the smaller startup at least I believe. And for me if I ever happen to be in a similar situation.
I came on you too harshly, these threads tend to drift always at least a bit off topic which I here interpreted as malicious even though it wasn’t. I apologize.
Don’t apologize, I fully get where you’re coming from. It’s part of the nature of socialization on forums :). I’ve been guilty of the same thing, especially on Reddit.
However, what I appreciate about Lemmy is that, with a smaller community, we can have better conversations and these threads don’t completely explode into subthreads of miscommunication and get amplified the way Reddit threads do. Thanks for sharing your perspective!
