I’m honestly surprised that Slack doesn’t have some kind of steganographic watermarking so that leaked screenshots can be traced back to the original user, given how many big companies use it for all their internal comms.

These companies can barely make the basics work on their apps, let alone all of this

Even so, they're going find this person fast. ABK staff just has to cross reference all the participants of leaked meetings

I see you don't use slack at work. Everyone is in every channel all the time for no reason. It's madness.

[–] icecreamtaco@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I did use slack; we had general channels with tons of people and smaller channels/meeting rooms with 5-30 people. If it was a 5-30 channel they can be found.

Only if that channel was private. You don't have to join a channel to be able to read its contents.

Christ I got added to this for college, such a mess of an app. Really difficult to follow what is what on it.

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

It's really not. Depends on how your structure it I suppose

Gee these men-children are going to be awfully sad when there's no one left to make their games for them anymore and they have nothing left to do but face the shitty reality they've created.

Hope they catch them and I hope those individuals lose their jobs.

[–] swordgeek@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 weeks ago

Not good ennough. Doxxing should carry criminal charges.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

I’m surprised that people feel safe to discuss those things in a Slack of a company that creates American Imperialistic propaganda. It’s a certainty that crypto-fascists are among them, no matter how progressive the companies policies are. The stuff they make attracts right wingers.

ITT we can see hardcore gamurs that eat the shit from gamergate and gamergate 2: sweetbaby boogaloo without putting 2 and 2 together

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

To be fair, Sweet Baby Inc. censoring shit is a real problem, whereas the "first gamergate" was mad about Baldur's Gate having transpeople in it when according to the "real gamers"

The game takes place in the Middle Ages and they didn't have transpeople back then!

Problem

  1. Transpeople have existed since pre-history

  2. Baldur's Gate does not take place in the middle ages, but rather during modern day in an alternate dimension in a thriving multiverse

  3. If transpeole existing is against the original vision of the game, then explain to me why the Girdle of Masculinity/Femininity and Edwin/Edwina exist. Or did you never actually play Baldur's Gate and just wanted to be part of an outrage machine?

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I thought the first gamergate was about ~~gatekeeping women away from games~~ games journalism. Imagine getting mad at trans people existing in a game where shapeshifting monsters and magic exist.

As depressing as it is to ask, I feel I should kick off the brainstorm: Given that this personal information has been doxxed, is there anything that individuals could do to help the affected developers in any way?
