Yeah, that's a pretty strong line, plus you could keep going with ever more disturbing questions.

Jerboa is a mobile app for Lemmy!
imagines himself as an old man, picking at his ears "Ay? Wassat? Post quality beans?" Shrugging, and humbling under my breath while going to the cupboard to take a photo... "Not sure how that'll help, but I'll do me best."
I think the critical question is not so much how many users it lost, but how many contributing users? Given the majority of Reddit users are lurkers, you could easily lose half the content by losing only the top 5% of contributing users...
It's wrong to be dismissive. Hiding something shameful is now, and will likely always be, a critical element of privacy. I agree that it's not the whole story (or perhaps even the most important part) but it's certainly the part that people many people spend the most time thinking about.
100% agree, here's some more departments that you haven't listed but probably exist:
Legal, internal contracts, contracts with suppliers, contracts with customers (advertisers), compliance with the laws of many countries/markets
Regulatory, compliance with internal and external regulations
Procurement, negotiating with suppliers
sustainability, there's probably someone in the business reporting on gender balance and environmental impact and a host of other UN SDG considerations
PMO, internal project management and portfolio reporting
market X, there may be a team of people for each major market responsible for sales, infrastructure, compliance, etc. in that market, in addition to central
CI/productivity, there will be some team responsible for reducing costs
Product owners, there will be teams of people responsible for arguing about what features/bugs should be implemented/fixed
monetization, there's probably dedicated teams looking at (and a/b testing!) new ways to push people into spending money on the app and/or interacting with ads more often
Um ackshually, decimating only means removing 1/10th, so what happened is actually many times worse than a decimation.
I mean, nothing is stopping you creating or joining an instance of lemmy that has a charter like that? You could very easily never federate the corpo instances. Astroturfing could still be an issue, but it's likely you'd never get big enough for that to be an issue.
