This is just wrong lol. Cancel has never received C&D orders for Ripcord, and it does charge $20 for the Slack features. Please don't spread misinformation you're not even informed correctly on, dude. If they were going to order a C&D order to Cancel, then they would've done it around the project's start (around 6ish years ago). Actually research this stuff before posting posts like these, plz.


From this user's top post on HN:

> Over the years I've found writing on HackerNews, Reddit and other online sites has given me an outlet to get creative and engage with folks in a way that will shift discourse towards something I'm more interested in. I regularly lie and pretend I know about topics and areas I have zero experience in. I began noticing I received more upvotes and engagement


Should clarify: the comment above me by @amedvednikov is referring to this comment chain's original poster -- @Mandatum -- not the parent or link submitter, and the post mentioned is: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30838788


Big yikes. Thanks for clearing this up. I totally misinterpreted the accusation.


My apologies, I should've made it clear and added a link.


..yikes.

someone admitting to that behavior on HN should be banned. that's actively hostile to the discourse here.


How do you see top posts?

Ah, ok, I would call that a “submission” but it’s an “Ask HN” so I see where you came up with “post”.

Note that the submission page is sorted chronologically, not by karma. So the concept of “top” is really more like “first”.

It seems you meant to point out that @Mandatum admitted to lying but the way you phrased it really made it difficult to verify the claim and came across to me like you were accusing @jessefied123.

There were some very strong responses [1] to your accusation and I’m concerned that anger may be directed at the wrong person. When making these kinds of accusations you should try to be more clear. Use names and provide links. Also consider if the benefit of the accusation is worth the risk of misunderstanding.

My apologies, I should've made it clear and added a link.

And indeed, the submissions are sorted chronologically. So I should've used "latest", not "top".
