More throwaway astroturfing? You say "20 thousand" the same way as your other likely throwaway account, V8OaSsoA (that is to say: somewhat identifiably) and complained about someone ripping off DigitalOcean's Web design on this account.

I'm doing math on the throwaways that are oddly attracted to this thread. You are making it very obvious that you are almost certainly a DigitalOcean employee across the two throwaways you've created so far, and that's giving me a whole lot of pause on DigitalOcean that I didn't have from reading the incident itself. If you're an employee or, less likely, a superfan, are you sure this is the type of sustained attack you want to levy? It's not making anybody look good.

Eh, I used '20 thousand' in one of my responses, does that mean I'm the real identity of the throwaways?

Probably not.

Yeah, if it wasn't obvious enough already, I used that number because it's the one in the headline of the article........
I really doubt DO would hire me. And any admin could look up what you said and disprove it. I'm not using any proxies or VPN.
