Maybe because you tried to backdoor a sales pitch into a community where it wasn't quite on topic, and the community members didn't appreciate it?

A global recession.

What an asshole.

Did you read the article? What are you trying to say?

Just after Summer Game Fest finished, the anti-woke gamers found a new target: a report at IGN, which credibly and comprehensively lays out a history of sexism at the developer of upcoming Planet-of-the-Apes-meets-Sekiro action game Black Myth: Wukong. The response – surprise! – was to go after the woman who wrote it, while also spinning up a ludicrous conspiracy theory that IGN was blackmailing the developer.

Targeted harassment of a journalist isn't, "reviewing products poorly." I went to go find an example of exactly what was being slung their way, but they took their whole profile private.

Krita looks nice.

"Running from within a motherboard BIOS" is waaaaay different than running from BIOS (aka Direct Boot). Before Windows, many games were playable by booting directly into them.

Because fuck Lars Ulrich.

Should people be able to (down/)vote in communities they dont subscribe?

Yes.

If your admins consider down-voting an act of hostility, maybe they should disable down-voting on the instance. Did they consider the possibility that those accounts they banned were bilingual, and simply prefer to interact in English?

Without the context of the post, the actors, etc. it's hard to justify a position other than, "this is working as intended." Randos bulk downvoted a post, the spike in downvotes prompted mod action. Everyone got to participate and suffer the consequences of their participation.

"We don't know how to rate limit our API or set billing alarms in the AWS console."

Let me save everyone the trouble:

1. Go Brandon.
2. I identify as [inanimate object].

That's it, that's all they got.

Was /c/bootlickers taken already?

If they are a good citizen of the Fediverse

They haven't been a good citizen of the internet, why would you even give them a chance?
