Maybe, most likely true. But either way I think it's pretty noteworthy that a big hosting provider like Heroku can't give them a heads up. I don't agree with most stuff that is being posted there, but the same goes with Reddit or Twitter. It is true that there are a lot of communities there that came there because they were banned from Reddit but that doesn't really make all of the communities bad even if there is a lot of shitty stuff up voted to the front page.
This can happen with any app even if it's more unlikely.
- CydeWeys 6y agoI've been enough on the insides of these kind of decisions in the past to know that it's very much lawyer and PR-driven, and that the right thing to do from those perspectives is to terminate the relationship as quickly as possible. If you give lots of lead time then you're just creating a festering sore for yourself and giving the other party time to mobilize against you. It's better for it to be a fait accompli with minimal notice given, so that the other party immediately focuses on moving on rather than trying to mobilize to reverse the decision. It's definitely not good for the company caught on the receiving end of such a decision, of course, but the hosting company is optimizing for themselves, as all companies are inherently selfish. And given how much racist garbage Ruqqus is hosting, I don't think Heroku cares too much about any hardship incurred.
