No nested SQL queries allowed.

Edit: it was for a built in query language to populate dashboards (think Jira JQL meets Domo).

I had some inefficient SQL queries that meant we had to put some guardrails around user input so others didn’t take down prod like I did

The difference is that when you buy a vps you aren’t handing over all your access creds to random developers.

And “harming lemmy” may be an intent that sparks a DDoS but there are other intentions that should make users wary. Harvesting creds of people who reuse passwords across accounts is an easy example that could have more serious implications to the individual user.

This pyramid is mostly bad argumentative techniques, i.e. arguing in bad faith.

It does very little to explain the structure of good faith arguments, lumping them in together at the top…

As a corporate entity Reddit had much more liability to worry about and more to lose.

Part of the appeal of the fediverse is that any of us anywhere can run an instance with different stakes, applicable laws, etc.

Without having to worry about profit, conversations can flourish.

I largely agree with you, there’s already redundant subreddits and such.

But I think when we’re trying to capture a ton of Reddit users, anything that represents a hurdle to new user adoption is a concern. That goes double for things that are intrinsic to the Fediverse that aren’t intuitive to new users like myself.
