This is some boringdistopia shit. Some bot damn near ruins a family and won't even tell them why.

The Beehaw mods explicitly said that the defederation was due to lack of good mod tools combined with lack of time to moderate manually, and that they didn't really want to defederate but didn't know what else to do.
A Republican made this decision.
Nobody cares about small subs until it's your niche hobby sub.
Sorry to hear that. I enjoyed your communities.
Katy Perry was a riot-grrl indie-rocker before she became a pop diva.
I was excited for OW2 as well. I left because of locking heroes behind the battle pass.
Greed has killed Blizzard. They're like Zerg Kerrigan... they look familiar but they're corrupted to the core, and everything they do is tainted by it.
I've already done my mourning, but it felt awful at the time. Sorry you're dealing with it now.
They could always pay the API fees and get ChatGPT to write some Reddit-like comments for them to report on.
Being a mod is a labor of love. If they don't love it any more, they'll leave. They're currently trying to save Reddit from making that happen.
The execs don't seem to understand this.

Might just be overloaded. Either way doesn't look good for them.
Different types have different advantages and disadvantages.
Slot can be opened with stuff that isn't screwdrivers (keys, coins, etc). They can take more torque than Phillips and are cheap to make. They kind of suck to use though, the screwdriver/bit likes to slip off.
Phillips self-centers the bit, and is pretty tolerant of wrong-sized driver for the screw. It strips easily though.
Torx, square and Allen are more expensive to make and require the correct size driver, but they're higher torque and the driver doesn't slip out of the screw.
They couldn't profit from it because of a bot. That issue is going to get more widespread and someone you know will be affected by it.
