We've both been here from the get-go and we've seen the waves of people and tones come and go. This one will also pass and the community will continue to change... but it shouldn't change into what it has been over the last day or so. That's the absolute wrong direction and there's no basis for any of it.
These posts arent good for the community.

The site isn't going anywhere and there's no reason to panic or to plan alternatives etc... its absolutely silly. All this does is create unnecessary panic and noise.
A lot of people are acting irrationally and it should be called out. Maybe a 'oh fuck we're all dead' megathread would be better... but either way, most of these posts don't serve the community.

Realistically, with the cost of the site, the funds shouldn't ever really dry up. We can take in pop cans to fund this thing. :)

I find that the combination of a vps and a macOS system lets me do anything I really need to.
Just curious. :)
I also have a windows box but I hate windows so much.

right! I mean, I was half-joking about it. I think one place where everybody can post their concerns (wild or grounded) could be really healthy. And really, a weekly 'we're fucked because...' would be very therapeutic.
