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?
It’s a difference in priorities. People stay on Reddit because that’s where the heat is. I hope that people go here because we understand the inherent dangers of for-profit social media. People can make their own choices.
I don’t think people actually dwell on that problem that much… or even understand the gravity of it… but, we’ll see.
