Thanks, I’ll definitely look into it!

Thanks, I appreciate the tip. Lemmy’s tech barrier is a bit of a stretch for me but most people here have been really helpful!
Since lemm.ee seems insistent on staying federated with Hexbear, can anyone recommend a working instance (.world keeps crashing on me) that’s defederated them?
I’m not tech savvy enough to know how to check whose defederated them and personally I find that their low-effort high-spam trolling in every thread they see to be off putting enough that I’ve been going back to Reddit because it feels less toxic. I liked the culture at Lemmy before Hexbear showed up and if possible I’d like to get that back. Thanks in advance!
They also need to get more creative with who they are hiring and what “benefits” they are offfering. A split schedule like that sucks for someone looking for anything more than part time work. If they can come up with benefits that attract say, stay at home parents looking to make some extra money, that particular split in the schedule may not be so bad for them. But they would also likely need other non-traditional side benefits that full time workers in other jobs might not, like the ability to bring younger children (not yet in school) to work with them on their route. A benefit like that might bring in more drivers and not even cost the company anything but too many places are stuck in a traditional workplace mindset.
Don’t lay offs make sense though if people are being more productive at home? The tech market is contracting so they won’t be looking to take on new projects so much as cutting unnecessary overhead (and labor is usually the largest tech company expense), which they only have because the increase in productivity isn’t being offset by new work (projects) coming in?
I can’t figure out where all the lemmy people posting about reddits “power tripping power mods” were posting. I think I ran across one mod in the wild (niche sub) that I thought was crazy and they got run off the platform eventually. What were people posting that they were getting banned all over the place? Maybe the mods weren’t the problem if multiple were banning you?
As long as the thing they don’t like about your face isn’t it’s color. But seriously American employment laws (in most states) allow for companies to fire people for any non-protected reason (protected reason = gender, race, age, etc). If a co.pany does illegally fire a person it can be a real up hill battle to prove it because at-will is so permissive.
I can’t say a firing like this one sits super well with me personally but it’s almost certainly legal.
Isn’t the appeal of in-n-out the lower price point compared to other fast food burger places, rather than the options or stellar flavor? 5 guys is way more expensive and the customization/taste reflects that.
It think they’re mad because some of them already paid for a year and the awards and gold were part of why they got premium. Now awards and fold are disappearing mid-september and they feel they aren’t getting what they paid for anymore.
I didnt take it as an insult, I just disagree with its use here. What I mean is that it’s not learned incompetence, I’m speaking specifically for me. I’m fully capable of learning how this stuff works and I know I could, I just dont want to. I just dont care about tech stuff, it bores me. The same way some people don’t care about the rules of football, or the way contract law works, or the difference between needle lace and bobbin lace, that’s how I feel about tech. I could learn it, I’d just rather not. There are a lot of people like me who don’t want to learn this stuff because they don’t enjoy it and like it or not that apathy (rather than inability, real or imagined) is a strong barrier to entry for something like lemmy/the “fediverse”
Also being “smart” in an apocalypse likely means building allies and connections. Which can only happen if people can trust your word and don’t think you’re a dick. Something that describes neither of them.
Im not sure its so much learned helplessness as, and I know this will be an unpopular opinion here, I don’t want to understand how it all works behind the scenes. I don’t care how lemmy is like email, I don’t care if mastodon can see me if I can’t see them, I don’t want to have to know the differences between what version/update my instance vs app is using, etc…I could learn all that, I just dont want to have too, but I probably qualify as part of the “normie masses”.
Thanks for the link! I got on Reddit right before the switch to new reddit so I never really used old reddit. Im gonna

Edit: so the formatting took me like 6 tries, but I got there! Conquering Lemmy one * at a time!
I could never be confused as someone whose good with tech. I have a job where knowing basic excel makes you the resident tech genius we all go to for help. I can confirm that I do find lemmy complicated.
Seriously. I never want to hear how hard it is to mod a subreddit with existing mod tools again. They’ve rolled over for spez (which is their right) and they don’t get to complain about it anymore.
Blahj had the same issue a few days ago and had to literally make a second thread that hexbear admins barred their users from so that they could have an internal discussion. Despite how upset that instance was hexbears just can not help but invade this discussion too.
