You are a stronger person than I. I still refuse to go back to Reddit after the bs they tried to pull lol. I’ve been looking at other ltt communities, but this is still the biggest community…

Processes that won’t be effective is a possibility, and will require continued retrospectives and evaluations to ensure efficacy.
Forgotten, probably not, especially if it is transcribed into standard operating procedures. When turned into policy, there’s an auditable process to ensure that policies are followed and in compliance.
Are you kidding me? Have we not watched the same video? The man put out numbers detailing the employee turnover rate, benefits package, and even security footage detailing that his employees are not being overworked. Did you not watch the video?
His turnover rate is BELOW Canadian average, meaning his employees haven’t quit at the rate Canadian employees have on average. His benefits packages for his employees are ABOVE MANY Fortune 500 companies. His employees are not being forced to work overtime.
Your premise has no weight, with the currently available evidence (the investigations may change that, but we don’t know for a fact currently). Refute the evidence put forth with actual evidence, not more guesses and claims.
Quid pro quo it would appear.
Addressed in the latest video? They literally and legally can’t.
What we want, and what is legally required, do not coincide.

I hate that we’re commenting without understanding the nuances you’ve highlighted above, and building a flawed emotional worldview based on things that are legally inadvisable for LMG to say.
I don’t think anyone’s dumb enough to go on a golf trip during a crisis. Linus wouldn’t have defended that and would have fired anyone who would’ve gone on a golf trip while the rest of the company works their asses off to get LMG back in shape.
I would prefer to assume good faith. Maybe a family member is in critical care? Maybe collaboration with investigators? Maybe legal consultation? All of those are pretty good reasons not to be in the video.
I guess it’s a matter of perspective and opinion. Not that Reddit is anything to trust, but this thread clearly demonstrates that there are people who appreciate the approach Linus took: https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/comments/161lh3f/heres_the_plan/jxslkvs/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
Damn if you do, damn if you don’t. What is a company to do? They have no choice but to take a position, even if that means a small number of folks be upset with them.
As someone in management, I personally feel Linus’ response was pretty appropriate.
Reading the Reddit thread on this, I find it fascinating that, at the beginning of the incident, Lemmy had more balanced conversations vs the crazies on Reddit calling for LTT disbandment. Now after the latest video, it seems like Reddit seems more reasonable and receptive with Linus’ plans vs Lemmy being the LTT doomsayers.
@7heo pin it please?
Yes that’s true, but I do empathize with the difficulty of the situation, as a manager. A week is practically equivalent to a flash of time in normal business circumstances… Under normal circumstances, that is barely enough time to begin talking about issues, nevermind rolling out plans… I’m even shocked Linus announced a plan to begin with. I was fully expecting a vid to simply call out observations. And this to me demonstrates his commitment and dedication to the community.
So, as much as I’ve been critical of LMG in the past, I would probably give them the time to allow those details (how, how much, what it means) to organically surface over time. Otherwise, that demand is probably what unintentionally pressures LMG to have the output speed they have, because they want to satisfy the community.
Am I the naive one in missing where they were finger wagging? I thought it was a good video throughout. It anything, I saw that they committed to even more process transparency of their business operations (which, to be fair, no company does unless they are an open source company).
Only time will tell, but if those changes had already been in the works even before the blowout, then I’m not sure if there actually is any other way of communicating that without simply unproductively crucifying oneself
but failed to even mention the issues of workplace culture and absurd quotas.
For my own understanding, was there something that was missing in their content reforms/error handling and workplace culture segments? I think they had mentioned a commitment to reducing frequency, which I understand is a solution to those, no?
Thanks for the plexamp reco! I didn’t realize there was a music app by Plex.
I’m not sure I agree… Or more precisely, it depends. !bapcsalescanada@lemmy.ca is an example of a community where there is value in reposting content from Reddit over, where the value is getting the coverage of deals. On Reddit, a small majority of users actively seek and share deals. If those users don’t move to Lemmy, that community is dead, period. No amount of enticement will introduce new content.
The secondary value now is that, previously, many users had to go to Reddit for that content, because that content isn’t available on Lemmy. Reposting isn’t just to kick-start user engagement, but is also a retention tool. Users don’t need to go to Reddit to fetch that info anymore. I know that was the case for me.
I understand the consequence of Lemmy being a mirror of Reddit. And yes, over reposting is detrimental. This is where reposts need to be strategically applied where it makes sense.
Ideally you don’t want a blood transfusion. But in specific circumstances, a blood transfusion kick-starts the healing/growth process.
I’ve seen a number of communities that are otherwise dead without Reddit reposts, and being the most subscribed community for a given topic with the latest post being months ago is definitely not going to attract new users.
It’s either don’t repost, and new users won’t join because of dead community, or repost and have some activity, and maybe new users will join. With dead communities, new users won’t magically join, and new content won’t magically get created.
One such example was the bcpcsalescanada community, which was revived due to reposts.
I’m not sure why we need to be having such a hostile discussion? Discussions don’t typically involve putting together a full detailed case, at least in my experience…
I hear your point about a $250 backpack and $60 screwdriver, and agree that yes they would be categorized as luxury items
So that implies that the degrees of care a given person may have is purely binary then? Just yes or no?
What if a person cares about unethical business practices, but are swimming in debt, which forces them to put priorities elsewhere? The world is rarely black and white.
A few times during my childhood. The thing I hated the most was the lingering smell of the gaseous anesthetic. In subsequent surgical procedures, I requested an ivy approach to the delivery of the anesthetic.
Thanks for the awesome work! Curious, how did you get around the GitHub Actions IP banning issue? Are you using a different CI?
