Reactiflux - the React.js chat/discussion room moved away from Slack to Discord (https://discordapp.com/ https://discordapp.com/) a couple of months back. the reason was: "Slack decided that Reactiflux had too many members and disabled new invites"

- nixgeek 11y agoHow is this related to the outage?
- skdd8 11y agoIt is related in the way that there are other tools out there that users can use, if people are frustrated by these outages.
- nixgeek 11y agoAll I can say is I sympathise and empathise with their operations team. Outages happen to everyone, including I'm sure Discord, and what matters most to me is transparency during and after the incident and that both individual and corporate values include incremental improvement - not making the same mistake twice. I'm perpetually frustrated by HN comments which take a tack of either pointing out (with your benefit of hindsight) things the commenter feels were incorrect, professing they could do better, or the strong advocacy for abandoning ship even with companies who have a provably pretty decent uptime record.
- skdd8 11y agoI am also frustrated with demoting comments that offer other alternatives or paint a different side of the picture. Unfortunately I cannot sympathize with a company which it's valuation is $2.8 billon, and cannot handle staying up or a large userbase.
- dasil003 11y agoI didn't downvote you, but I suspect the reason you were is because it smells like opportunistic astroturf.
