I’m honestly surprised that Slack doesn’t have some kind of steganographic watermarking so that leaked screenshots can be traced back to the original user, given how many big companies use it for all their internal comms.

These companies can barely make the basics work on their apps, let alone all of this

Even so, they're going find this person fast. ABK staff just has to cross reference all the participants of leaked meetings

I see you don't use slack at work. Everyone is in every channel all the time for no reason. It's madness.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I did use slack; we had general channels with tons of people and smaller channels/meeting rooms with 5-30 people. If it was a 5-30 channel they can be found.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Only if that channel was private. You don't have to join a channel to be able to read its contents.

Christ I got added to this for college, such a mess of an app. Really difficult to follow what is what on it.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

It's really not. Depends on how your structure it I suppose

Gee these men-children are going to be awfully sad when there's no one left to make their games for them anymore and they have nothing left to do but face the shitty reality they've created.

Um... The gaming industry did much, MUCH better before it was filled with activists.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sounds like a "I liked Star Trek before it was woke" take.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh god, I "love" those people. Same as the guy who was pissed about how woke Rage Against the Machine had become. Like bruh... Seriously?!?

Capitalists. The word you're looking for is capitalists.

Such a moronic take based on absolutely nothing.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

There are plenty of record breaking games that have released while the industry has been “filled with activists.” Many of them are even about politics, like Helldivers 2.

Yeah, having a poc or queer character in your shitty video games is the biggest example activism since the Civil Rights Movement.

I’m surprised that people feel safe to discuss those things in a Slack of a company that creates American Imperialistic propaganda. It’s a certainty that crypto-fascists are among them, no matter how progressive the companies policies are. The stuff they make attracts right wingers.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Hope they catch them and I hope those individuals lose their jobs.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

Not good ennough. Doxxing should carry criminal charges.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

ITT we can see hardcore gamurs that eat the shit from gamergate and gamergate 2: sweetbaby boogaloo without putting 2 and 2 together

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

As depressing as it is to ask, I feel I should kick off the brainstorm: Given that this personal information has been doxxed, is there anything that individuals could do to help the affected developers in any way?

So customers are now informed? And this is a bad thing?

[–] [email protected] 68 points 2 months ago

"This employee took screenshots of ABK wide discussions about the safety of our protected information (like name changes and visa statuses) and sent them to an an extremely racist, sexist, and transphobic individual on Twitter who has over a 100 thousand followers," they added.

[–] [email protected] 64 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Fuck off; this is doxxing and mass harassment. If you want social change go ahead but do it peacefully.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 months ago (3 children)

^ This right here, what happened to their rallying call "Go Woke, Go Broke" ? I guess it's not working, so they're going to harass people instead.

No one will stop them from not buying something. But forcing people out of jobs via threats is another level of fucked up.

Informed of what? The next target of right wing shitheads on youtube and twitter? Use your brain.

Edit: see you're a right winger yourself. So using your brain will be difficult. Asshole.

Give us your name and address so we can be informed. That’s not a bad thing, we’ll be better informed.
