- vulcan01 5y agoPeople still use Robinhood. From Freenode, there was a mass exodus. From Robinhood, people mostly just complained and kept using the app.
- labster 5y agoRobinhood had legitimate, if hard to understand, liquidity reasons for stopping trading on $GME. As far as I can tell Lee has no strategy at all for Freenode, and just keeps trying different fuels to extinguish the fire.

- arp242 5y agoWhat if we would try to take away its oxygen by covering it with dynamite?
- MartinodF 5y agoI know you're joking, but dynamite is actually used to extinguish oil well fires: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_well_fire#Extinguishing_the_fires https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_well_fire#Extinguishing_th...

- oliyoung 5y agoBasecamp gave it a shake
- GavinMcG 5y agoEh. Were many users affected at all by the shakeup? Seems like a vocal minority of employees left and that was that.
- AlexeyBelov 5y agoI wouldn't say a third of your employees is a vocal minority. It's a pretty sizeable amount.
- GavinMcG 5y agoSure, but odds are a good number of them were motivated by three or six month buyouts more than culture. And we're talking about a grand total of like 18 people here.
