It's kind of telling that the Billet Labs fiasco produced a way bigger backlash than the Madison thing.
Maybe because it came on the coattails of an already established controversy.. but the vibes in the YT comments are very different. Mostly ranging from SYMPATHETIC to LTT, to "she's hysterical", "she's lying", "go woke go broke" (???), "sexual harassment at work is perfectly normal", etc.
And no, I'm not gonna blur the names bc the comments are publicly available anyway.

message to all reverse engineers and hackers of fedi: when youre figuring out some really obscure thing and you finally crack it PLEASE document it somewhere on the web. maybe youre the first to ever walk this path, maybe youre the first person to care. but i promise you are not the last, and there will be a day when some lone hacker follows the path you took years or decades ago and they will find what you wrote and they will be eternally grateful and wont forget it ever. and thats so beautiful
