This is not to say that death threats are acceptable, or some sort of price you have to pay for managing a social media account. They’re never acceptable.
If I was getting actual death threats from people on social media because of something I posted on social media, the first thing I would do is stop posting on social media for a while, and I’d especially avoid interacting with people about the subject that was getting me the death threats! #rpi

I keep seeing posts about a new 2 day tech conference that happened last week in London.
Apparently it was so terrible that there are now a number of blogs alleging behaviour on the part of the organiser(s) which was downright unprofessional at best, and fraudulent at worst. Only one organiser has been identified and I'm disappointed to discover it's someone I know tangentially through the London tech scene.
The conference promised 3k+ attendees, 150 speakers, tickets were in three figures.
