I agree as well. People are well within their rights to refrain from using current/future products completely and voice their frustration, but there's also this undercurrent of people who want to be as vitriolic as possible and try to twist the knife on the way out of the door. It reeks of insecurity and an inability to regulate their emotions.

There's a kind of similar undercurrent/echo chamber in certain areas of the fediverse around Reddit as well, and I say this is a person who was actively using teddit pre-APIgate and has drastically reduced my reddit-browsing time as of late. Changing all of your comments to expletives about the current CEO is not as revolutionary or well-received as most people think it is

try to twist the knife on the way out of the door

That’s because they stab us in the chests while smiling about it. People are fed up and trying to lash out - it’s hard to injure faceless orgs otherwise.

Corporations like IBM have been twisting the knife for years and according to you, it’s only a problem when people do it…
