The companies that continue to try to force RTO will just alienate most millennials and zoomers. Good luck finding a wide enough group of people to fill those jobs you supposedly need filled. Most workers hate RTO, no matter how much BS, posturing, and gaslighting you do corporate, you’re not going to win this one.

Cool, thanks for the info.

I have actually read it cover to cover as well. But just because something is written in a book doesn’t make it true. The genre of fiction exists. And the very concept of religion, all of them are made up. As in there was a time in the history of Earth where no religion existed. Dinosaurs didn’t have religion for example, and they came before humans, who created religion.

Jesus, whom they claim to love/worship/etc., would be labeled a dirty commie/socialist by them for wanting to help the poor, sick, and needy. And for loving everyone. They hate Jesus. They worship supply side Jesus AKA Republican Jesus.

Okay thanks.

Same thing with banning books. This is fascist bullshit and it’s not about protecting children or anyone else. It’s about pushing their false Christianity, their christofascism on everyone whether they like it or not and trying to turn the country into a fascist “Christian” theocractic dictatorship where they can say and do whatever they want whenever they want about anything or anyone but no one else can.

IMO, on Mastodon for example, most people don’t understand federation and don’t care about it. It sounds scary and complicated to them. And also in Mastodon’s case at least, it’s still extremely difficult IMO, to find people/sites/etc. to follow about topics you care about. You still, AFAIK, can’t search by posts which is just dumb, IMO (at least on the instance/server) I’m on.

The whole pick an instance/server thing also confuses people. Most people don’t care about that and don’t even need to know TBH. Just auto-assign them to the most popular one and those who care about such things can manually pick their own.

Of course it has. It was a pump and dump scheme and he got caught with his hand in the proverbial cookie jar. He’s a fucking idiot and has no clue about anything and only got where he is thanks to his dad. Fuck him.

I want to get one, but don’t have one yet, unfortunately. A bit out of my price range at the moment.

I made a Mastodon account a while back after the Twitter nonsense and have used it somewhat, but not as much as say Twitter itself because most of the people I follow haven’t joined. And therein lies one of the key problems with this or any Reddit alternative, if people don’t join, it won’t work. You need users and content both, you can’t do it with just one or the other.

I also made a separate Lemmy account as I didn’t realize I could use the same for all 3, but oh well. I kind of like having separate accounts for them as that makes more sense to me in my head.

I hope this mess they created destroys their site, they deserve it for being such smug asshole pricks about the whole thing.

Agreed. Live chat has its place for certain things, but for other things a forum type interface is better suited.
