I didn't read this at all. I read it as "we will refund you", not "we will kick you off". I know that fly.io frequently refunds payments for customers, if they feel the bill was unexpectedly large.

I read this as "if you don't like us, leave us", not "I want you to leave us because I didn't like what you said". The first one is a bit more fair, because it's just a statement that if you don't like the way we do things, there are alternative providers, though some may say it's not the most graceful way to talk to an annoyed customer (picture "apologies for the breaking change, we will try to warn/communicate/avoid such changes in the future"). The second one is far more brazen.
- babelfish 4y agoRegarding your first point - the first thing Kurt said was "if you're going to be a dick on twitter you can go ahead and find yourself another vendor". I don't believe there were any billing issues as a part of this exchange, though Kurt's offer to refund was kind. And regarding your second point, I read the above quote the same way Alex did, as being kicked off the platform ("go ahead and leave", not "you're free to leave").
