I could not post to #software:bonfire category (not allowed), but there’s some bad news in that Basecamp will be renamed to Bonfire apparently:
(Note: There’s a lot of trouble at Basecamp, and one third of employees left the company based on proposed reorganization and monetary incentives. See: “About one-third of Basecamp employees accepted buyouts today” | Hacker News)
@mayel We can’t let this happen.
Please see also the NYT piece and the thread https://twitter.com/sl007/status/1387442975626645511
Thanks for the heads up! Looks like it’s a satirical site though 
Ha ha ha, indeed. That is studid of me, because I hadn’t noticed and forgot to double-check. Sorry to give you a scare. I got sucked in the big HN thread about Basecamp and then thought “Oh, I should not forget to give a heads-up on the rebranding”. But naming is appropriate satire indeed, given all the fuss on what’s happening over there 
I updated the title…
to be clear, the bonfire thing is a joke, from a parody news source.
yes, I did not post it.
The joke is probably about the time when basecamp retired campfire and put a worse replacement in the core service. I just wanted to say that I am more worried that e.g. basecamp employeers are forbidden to speak about politics than about monetary incentives which is what the NYT thing is about.
I can unlist, as this is not related to AP/fedi as I thought it was. It was my mistake in ‘doing the fedi advocacy rounds’ too quickly this morning.
to be clear, you posted your sentence to the wrong person.
btw: Exactly in the time where your group has its meeting and after the author made clear it is satire, Chuzpe …
Here I posted a very serious NYT article because I have friends who worked for basecamp.
Now Arnold asks you, if he should delete the satire he posted and you do not answer …
Please do also note not to exchange satire and misinformation.
The first is a very old journalistic ressort. I like the joke and do not think, Arnold should delete it.
