I hope you like clutter because gitlab’s interface is atrocious…

Thanks! It’s extremely insightful to get a peek behind the scenes like this. Stuff like this always happens behind closed doors and threads like yours really help shine some light :)

Do you remember/are at liberty to elaborate on the reasoning and course of events at the time that lead to defederating?

Wasn’t XMPP EEE’d by Google? Not to say that Meta is any better of course

Didn’t twitter just default on a massive google cloud bill on the first of July? This is pure speculation, but it wouldn’t surprise me if the rate limiting is a direct consequence of them having to massively scale back infra because of getting kicked from Google cloud

Check my comment on one of the other threads, Missouri didn’t stand to lose anything. MOHELA doesn’t pay anything to the state, so even if there was some constitutional right to profit for companies, MOHELA would be the injured party, not the state of Missouri

Especially since the language of the HEROES act explicitly states that they can waive or modify. According to the majority forgiveness is clearly not equal to waiving, since you know, they’re different words and it’s impossible for different words to have the same meaning. If congress wanted to give the secretary the power to forgive, they should’ve written forgive instead of waive in the act /s

Except that MOHELA didn’t sue and didn’t want to sue in the first place. No business has a constitutional right to make a profit. If all debtors transferred their loans to a different company tomorrow, MOHELA would go bankrupt and they’d have just as much standing then, I.e. none at all. Furthermore, as I said, MOHELA didn’t sue, the state of Missouri did. MOHELA doesn’t pay a single cent to the state of Missouri, so exactly how is Missouri being injured here? The fact that MOHELA would make less money changes nothing to the “public function” Missouri is supposed to provide here. It can still continue to offer student loans. So I ask again, where is the injury? None of this gives Missouri the state any standing

I simply cannot grasp how a judicial system that’s entirely based on standing, suddenly decides that 6 random states that have 0 stake in this whole FEDERAL student loan thing have standing to sue over this forgiveness plan

Strange though how the previous president doing the exact same thing but with ppp loans for businesses was all fine and dandy. Yes, yes, totally not a political judgement at all, nothing to see here
