One thing I find annoying is that there’s no way for me to let the company know that this behavior lost me as their customer forever unless they change their tune.

I’m fairly sure I’m the kind of person they’d market those products towards and it hurs them, but there’s no wat that I’m aware of to let them know.

If there was a way, and a significant amount of people would do so, maybe the decision makers would understand it’s stupid…

I was raised by my grandparents.

My grandfather was the cook most of the time, and he was always trying new recipies he found online: in years, I don’t think I ever saw him cook the same meal twice.

Everytime he’d taste something new, he’d enthusiastically comment “it’s different than usual!” (Rough translation from French “ça fait changment!”)

To this day, I have no idea how good or how bad he thought any of those dishes were.

DDoS are sometimes just people thinking “because I can”, not necessarily motivated by profit.

A smallish scale service like a lemmy server ran by volunteers seems like an easy target, so it wouldn’t be surprising that being the case.
