Thanks. However, it is just not excusable and a breach of trust. The Backblaze Twitter communication making pretty clear that they don't see a problem with tracking paying customers. We are moving somewhere else.
- nerdponx 5y agoSame, I'm out. Who are you moving to?
- quchen 5y agoI’ve looked at Backblaze and Wasabi for my personal off-site backups, and sided with Wasabi. Can’t complain so far.
- thejohnconway 5y agoDoes Wasabi do something similar? Have you checked? There’s probably a very limited window to do that, I’d imagine everyone in this space is checking their trackers now.
- jakemauer 5y agoI just signed up for a free trial with Wasabi and they include trackers from Google analytics and LogRocket. I'm not sure if they send filename data across the wire.
- ddalex 5y agoIs it smart to tell people that you are leaving before you actually backed-up and moved you data in the new place!?
- tobr 5y agoI kinda lost whatever trust I had in Backblaze here, but I don’t think they’re in the habit of deleting paying customers’ data in vengeance.
- dgellow 5y agoI wouldn't judge a company based on their Twitter engagement. Twitter is a really dumb place.
- wccrawford 5y agoIf a company engages via a public medium, you absolutely should judge them by their interactions on it. If they refrain from engaging, then I agree that you shouldn't judge them by that.
- dgellow 5y agoIf a company writes childish messages in a place where it is expected to read childish messages, I wouldn't use that to judge the rest of the organization.
- ohlookabird 5y agoThat might be and I am not judging you for this perspective. From a company handling my data I however expect them to be professional wherever they articulate themselves about a serious problem.
- atYevP 5y agoYev here -> I think part of that was a mistake on the Twitter side of things.
