What does grief have to do with it?
- fch42 1y ago
  why would you not be sad about something great you lost ? Even if it was "just a freebie" ?

    The non-profit is still in crises mode and can use help. The grief and reflection can come when the crises has passed. Whether it is grief or not, how is describing these stages of grief helpful for the situation as it is right now?
    - fch42 1y ago
      Only in the sense of (helping to) "move on". When you find yourself at the receiving end of monopoly extortion (at least as it appears to you), then best do what you can to get away. It seems they are on that path now.

        And they are already migrating things to Mattermost. So again, how does talking about the stages of grief help?

  Years of time, effort, and love poured into something that's being pulled out from under you? Surely you're able to feel some empathy for the situation

How is this helpful for the non-profit? And Kübler-Ross did not describe a linear progression of grief. It was meant to be enough of a framework to start conversations, to put experiences in perspective, to help reflect. And plenty of times, life still has to go on even with devastation -- no time to grieve and reflect until crises has passed. The wording of the co-founder's comment and the post did not strike me as grief. They are calling out enshittification without trying to burn bridges and requesting help.

Trying to figure out if this was the result of the sheer exhilaration of smashing the post button or a humiliation kink where you want people to yell at you
