faangsticle··on How VSCode made bracket pair colorization faster (2021)
By that measure neither is vscode. Both are extensible text editors with ide plugins available.
faangsticle··on Discord monetization: microtransaction stores and paid 'exclusive memes'
The point is that the target audience of those who want search and the target audience of those who want community don't necessarily overlap, and the latter are the one searching for a new "home" and they may not care about the needs of the former group. Some people will even prefer knowing their discussion isn't easily found online.

“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”

“So had the stairs.”

Its unsurprising that stripe doesn't trust their customers who sign up for them via their standard channels?
faangsticle··on Tell HN: Stripe killed my music locker service, so I'm open sourcing it
Well no, Stripe suspends accounts and ignores them. As shown again and again on HN.
