Arrivals, departures and bans, by month

Almost nobody walked out. They were removed.

Only 128 people ever chose to leave this channel. Another 1,917 were banned, peaking at 405 in October — a moderation purge, not an exodus. What actually declined was arrivals: 3 joined in the first month, 9 in the last.

The last thing anyone said here

No announcement, no goodbye. The archive simply stops. Nobody in this conversation knew it was the last one.

jokeparotaaOr else people are gonna always try to put blame on you if you look silent in front of them
jokeparotaaDocument every piece of tasks you work on
jokeparotaaMake sure you note down what you contributed and how you did
jokeparotaaAnd keep any kind of formal communications in mail instead of teams or slack chat, if someone’s trying to be unreasonable ask them to drop mail looping your manager in cc
