the most egregious example I can think of is antiwork in reddit. Posters there love to rant against companies, but they also give good advice regarding laws in different states and is a good source to deal with micromanagers and toxic workplaces.
But it’s like they simply don’t think that reddit is making money with every post they write. It’s like they’re working for the enemy they so much despise, a large corporation.
It baffles me that people keep posting there. Is the fediverse alternative really that bad?
Lemmy is largely nerdy, linux loving leftist early tech adopters. In a sense, we sit in an echo chamber until the platform becomes more widely adopted, even though it doesn’t feel that way.
Early, probably. But the audience here is not THAT primitive. There are casual users that know signing up, and do not even realise they may be on shitjustworks, talking to a lemmee user on a post made by a lemmyworld user.
Tech redditors/channers are not as bright as you think. They barely make the cut even as a general stereotype.
You ever were on a sysadmin post?
I do love Linux. You got me there.
