I’m still getting mine. Might be worth checking spam?


Definitely not going to spam, but thanks for the suggestion. Since you said you're getting them, I'll try recreating the reminder and see what happens.


My immediate thought is that people will use this to sell pirated and/or illegal goods. I’m curious how you plan to address this issue?


Probably the same as any other online service; wait for DMCA takedown requests, prepare for lawsuits and be prepared to pay copyright holders or hand over gains to law enforcement.

Of course, that could be prevented if they manually check and verify ownership of every submission.


What about illegal content like CSAM? That would be far more serious than just a DMCA, personally content like that would be my first concern running this type of business.


Yea hope they have good monitoring in place


The most hilarious irony of not being able to acknowledge a 4AM page in the PagerDuty mobile app because AWS is down.


(Which was about AWS being down?)


It's not official. The people making the page probably just copied everything, including the legalese.

Citizen seemed shady at best from the beginning, but their true colors are showing now. I hope employees leave and that the investors divest.


I imagine this data is being shared as a PR move in the Apple vs. Epic battle, as well as the upcoming EU regulations changes.


All of the tweets linked seem pretty direct and transparent (i.e. the opposite of passive aggressive). Unless you're seeing some tweets that aren't in this thread?


That was my impression as well. The only real negativity was from the author of the thread (e.g. the "@jasonfried, I hope you enjoy your fucking sauna." comment), who AFAICT is not / was not affiliated with Basecamp.

That said, I think there are quite enough "openly woke" companies that it's not going to be hard for any of these people to find a welcoming home. Especially if they manage to successfully play the martyr on social media. This is where our society is at right now.

Overall this is probably a win/win -- the employees who left were surely the ones most dedicated to keeping the office political. Basecamp got rid of them and can rebuild with a team that's more aligned with the new policy, and those employees can find new jobs at companies that don't mind being political.


The title doesn't match the link.


That tweet you linked is from the CEO of Telegram. Seems likely he wants to sow doubt about his competitors.


He is simply pointing out what others have as well - that using the crypto whose development was financed by the very people interested in breaking it, may not be that smart.

And is the story about from Jan about vulnerabilities in Signal that are absent in Telegram also planted by him? Want to see more incidents like that?
