Comment on GitHub was downparent

Comments

Well unfortunately it seems everything I said 11 days ago has become a reality I'm afraid and I was still downvoted for pointing this truth out. [0]

Too many times I suggested everyone to begin self-hosting or have that as a backup but once again some think 'going all in on GitHub' is worth it. (It really is not the case)

Something I've learned on HN is that upvotes/downvotes means nothing but how popular an opinion is. You can be 100% right, honest, straightforward and kind, but if the hive-mind does not agree, it does not agree and will downvote your well-written opinion.

Don't read too much into it and comment freely as normal. In the end, it's just internet points.

Doesn't help that this occurred in the same week as a patent pending MS Patch Tuesday that borked a lot of corporate machines. I'm still cleaning up messes from the changes they pushed out that break Kyocera drivers.
