  • I’m old enough to remember when Gamersgate/me too and companies were getting leaked everywhere, which really made them look bad. Like literally people were using their real Facebook name and going, “Scarlet Johansson is a feminist b**** c*** who should stay in her lane” and their job title right there.

    The first thing my job did was give everyone a warning that no personal things on work time and made everyone sign a contract. Then a few months later, our sister company got a bunch of leaks in the news about a sexist environment/sexual abuse. Then a few months after that, a bunch of people were “let go” for breaking that contract.



  • At my multinational, we typically hire in the hundreds every month for customer service. It’s like a $15/hr job, very baseline entry level, no experience needed. Because of that, there’s a constant churn. Most folks go for a year and leave for other jobs, or get promoted.

    Last year was the start of us rolling out AI tools. According to the year end report, our “customer score” skyrocketed, which tells the bosses that AI is great for customer service. Also a few months ago, I noticed we weren’t refilling Customer Service jobs as fast anymore.

    So these are the people who are getting squeezed out.

    I tried to figure out Mastodon a few months ago. I’m with you.

    Someone asked me to follow them on Mastodon. I couldn’t find them in the app. He sent me the direct link and it opened up a browser on my phone, refusing to recognize the app.

    I finally added them directly from a browser by by remembering which server I was in, log into that, visiting their link again, adding them from my logged in server, and then it finally appeared in the app.

    And if I’m dealing with thet level of monkeying around, how many others are? How the hell are we supposed to contribute and add content and find social circles when we’re fighting with the UI?

    Lemmy seems to have figured out how to not make a sucky experience with multiple servers.
