It's a concept called inclusivity, I think you should read up on it a bit.
The rest? Get real. Cherry picking at it's finest. You're barking up the wrong tree here and I have no problem defending those comments ad nauseum.
I'll say it again since you're really not getting it: feel free to email me if you'd like to continue this in a more professional manner. I'll keep flagging comments that blatantly ignore this.
How many times is enough? I've now politely asked three times to be contacted via email if you need to, twice specifically for this altercation. Please don't make the same mistake a fourth time, as an admin and representative of this dying site.
I'm taking your words at face value, you can communicate more clearly but it is your choice to do so.
I am using HN in the intended spirit, and I'm sorry that you're letting the echo chamber color your perception of perfectly acceptable comments. You can email me if you'd like to continue discussing this in a more professional manner (why else would I fill it...?), but I have to say this is an appalling showing of leadership on your behalf, and I hope you address it soon.
Public intimidation does not make for a safe and healthy culture. Period.
Because engineers (and managers) contrive problems like this to the point they are useless solutions.
> It's so close to basically no issues
There are issues. You can keep contradicting yourself by explaining how perfect means there are still problems. I'm enjoying it.
Is the convenience of technology still worth it?
> I never really notice those three submenus except when I'm logging into a new device and it takes like ~10 seconds to unpin them.
Maybe it's just me, but the way you've written these sentences makes it sound like you have buyers remorse. Doesn't sound like things are "basically perfect."
FWIW, I left Plex two years ago for Jellyfin, and haven't looked back. Never even bought the garbage Plex Pass.
I think most products go through phases like this. Plex has some diehards that have stuck around (I think it's just buyers remorse for the Plex pass) but I think they are at a 5th or 6th tier of "customer" at this point, seeing the continuous churn spiral they are fighting.
Look at how self-righteous you are. Blissfully unaware of the fallacies you lead with.
FWIW, I have zero context for Shadowstats or anything they do. I do know what the US government is trying very hard to downplay the true effects of inflation. Then, you come along and can't help but ad hominem your way to the loony bin. Come on. If you can't make the argument without constantly putting down the source, you just can't make the argument. Work on it.

You're undeniably controlled by propaganda. I hope you get out of the matrix, friend.
Can you address the argument without negatively framing the source of it?
Inflation is definitely higher than 7.7%. Seems to me there's a lot more energy going into that propaganda wave than anything else.
Kind of sounds like you already made up your mind and are looking for confirmation of that bias.
Probably because getting the system together in its current state was enough work.
> In 2022, that's my standard expectation from any service.
You have high standards. Do you expect others to raise their standards as high as yours...?
No, it's alright. Keep bullying someone who is merely asking that we do better while telling them they don't understand cultural norms.
It's pretty simple, I requested that you be more polite in public and you're having the hardest time grasping it. But, here you are, making more snide remarks in public at the person who reasonably requested that your concerns be voiced offline. Zero for two.
For what it's worth, I spoke up on this because I personally would be quite annoyed if someone did not give me the courtesy of correcting a mistake in private before broadcasting publicly about it. It doesn't matter if it comes from a stranger or a trusted friend. I can tell you aren't picking this up, but I'm happy to explain it ad nauseum so you can be a better individual to your peers.
>It's a courteous social more of the HN community
From what I can tell, the "norm" is to gang up on new folks without thinking critically about it. It's reddit with less complexity and more ego.
You get what you give.
> why not practice what you preach
From your profile: "I subscribe to the ideology of live and let live."
...
Could you explain how messaging in private is so hard to do if you have no problem making the comment in public...?
You seem to have a really hard time grasping that this entire comment thread we are part of wouldn't exist if OP had reached out about their concerns in private.
Be polite.
Turns out it is more diplomatic to reach out to someone privately first. God forbid we set a better example than the one being set.
You're bikeshedding.
Good thing they... (checks notes) ...know exactly who made the post and can reach out to them on LinkedIn or email them.
Cultural norms are reinforced by good examples, there's nothing good about snippy public comments. Reaching out to them privately isn't hard, and, dare I say it: is more inclusive. I don't think I need to explain the origin of the word assume.
