I agree. It's not a contest, we are in this together.

PSA: Bartender Mac App Under New Ownership, But Lack of Transparency Raises Concerns

I've been a paying user since 2015. This makes me sad, as it's one of my most beloved utilities and this isn't a good look. I'll keep running it without updating until it stops working or I find a replacement that I like. Also:

Linus Tech Tips (LTT) release investigation results on former accusations

There were a series of accusations about our company last August from a former employee. Immediately following these accusations, LMG hired Roper Greyell - a large Vancouver-based law firm specializing in labor and employment law, to conduct a third-party investigation. Their website describes them as “one of the largest employment and labour law firms in Western Canada.” They work with both private and public sector employers.

To ensure a fair investigation, LMG did not comment or publicly release any data and asked our team members to do the same. Now that the investigation is complete, we’re able to provide a summary of the findings.

The investigation found that:

  • Claims of bullying and harassment were not substantiated.

  • Allegations that sexual harassment were ignored or not addressed were false.

  • Any concerns that were raised were investigated. Furthermore, from reviewing our history, the investigator is confident that if any other concerns had been raised, we would have investigated them.

  • There was no evidence of “abuse of power” or retaliation. The individual involved may not have agreed with our decisions or performance feedback, but our actions were for legitimate work-related purposes, and our business reasons were valid.

  • Allegations of process errors and miscommunication while onboarding this individual were partially substantiated, but the investigator found ample documentary evidence of LMG working to rectify the errors and the individual being treated generously and respectfully. When they had questions, they were responded to and addressed.

In summary, as confirmed by the investigation, the allegations made against the team were largely unfounded, misleading, and unfair.

With all of that said, in the spirit of ongoing improvement, the investigator shared their general recommendation that fast-growing workplaces should invest in continuing professional development. The investigator encouraged us to provide further training to our team about how to raise concerns to reinforce our existing workplace policies.

Prior to receiving this report, LMG solicited anonymous feedback from the team in an effort to ensure there was no unreported bullying and harassment and hosted a training session which reiterated our workplace policies and reinforced our reporting structure. LMG will continue to assess ongoing continuing education for our team.

At this time, we feel our case for a defamation suit would be very strong; however, our deepest wish is to simply put all of this behind us. We hope that will be the case, given the investigator’s clear findings that the allegations made online were misrepresentations of what actually occurred. We will continue to assess if there is persistent reputational damage or further defamation.

This doesn’t mean our company is perfect and our journey is over. We are continuously learning and trying to do better. Thank you all for being part of our community.

The Sublinks team has written up a little survey, which we feel is both thorough and inclusive. It covers a wide range of topics, such as user privacy, and community engagement, along with trying to gauge things that are difficult when moderating.

Also please be aware the information collected by this survey is completely anonymous. As many of us in the social sciences background know, if you want the REAL feelings of individuals, they need to feel safe to express themselves.

👉Moderation Survey HERE👈

Please feel free to comment in this thread, we will do our best to respond to any genuine questions.

We look forward to hearing from each and every one of you!

Sincerely, The Sublinks Team

I made a blog post discussing my biggest issues with Lemmy and why I am kind of done with it as a software.

It's basically a fork of Lemmy. But rather than forking, we're rewriting the entire tech stack to something easier to support and enhance. You can see the full roadmap here: https://github.com/orgs/sublinks/projects/1

[-] jgrim@discuss.online 21 points 5 months ago

That’s the goal, yes.

[-] jgrim@discuss.online 18 points 5 months ago

The LW admins have helped contribute to Sublinks. They've given me full support and access to all resources to help grow it. They've been extremely helpful.

[-] jgrim@discuss.online 18 points 5 months ago

We are creating a Sublinks specific API that is much more optimized than the Lemmy one. Our front-end will be using that. Also, we'll have tons more features that the Lemmy core doesn't support.

[-] jgrim@discuss.online 22 points 5 months ago

The front-end is coming later. It’s fully compatible with Lemmy’s API so the demo site currently uses the Lemmy front-end.

A few Subreddits were planning to come over at the end of the month that didn't work out. Their members revolted and threatened to replace the mods. So they stayed over there. It would have been over 200k people if they all came over, even if not all members came. I thought I was under planning at the time.

I was reaching out to Reddit mods, trying to convenience them to join my instance. It almost worked, haha.

But in the end, I had to scale down while still maintaining something snappy. The DB is already over 15G, and I want to use a managed db. It's too large to put on smaller instances.

Clear anyone of debt just by thinking it.

[-] jgrim@discuss.online 20 points 1 year ago

You'll have to ask a site admin like @ruud@lemmy.world

[-] jgrim@discuss.online 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

There’s a bunch of other instances. Like mine at discuss.online. Nothing new is needed.

Seems like you’re just suggesting everyone use beehaw with federated accounts.

What are you going to do with all your time now :)
