I'm sure they're watching the reddit situation very closely.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I haven't been back to reddit since the blackouts started. No desire to.

"Landed gentry"... Because that's what I think about when I think about unpaid employees.

Can we stop trying to coin cute terms like "enshittification"? What that term describes is just capitalism working as intended.

There is a term that describes this behavior that we've been using for at least decades (to describe behavior that has happened since the inception of capitalism): rent seeking.

If you are getting this upset and offended by "Peaches Christ..." By those words. By a silly pseudonym of a performer... Maybe it's time to reevaluate your life, and what you consider important.

Are you also offended by the title "Jesus Christ Superstar"?

None of this was happening at work, but if you keep pretending that you don't know that, you can probably get some other ignorant people pissed off about it too

You got paid, because it’s required by law that you do.

That's not true. Maybe it varies from state to state, I dunno, but I live in an otherwise very blue state, and there's no statute on the books saying that a private employer must pay for time missed for jury duty.

They are required to allow you to go if you're summoned, but beyond that, it's their choice. Obviously, most (if not all) choose not to.

I think there is no evidence that corporations are going to do what you all say they're going to do

My friend, learn some history.

Who would know that? Surely not the average user, since we weren't all invited to this meeting, and everyone who was would be under NDA...

Nah.

I haven't really messed with Lemmy at all yet, but Kbin is almost exactly like signing up for/using reddit. if you can use reddit, you can figure out Kbin very easily.

So, because us laymen can't think of exactly how they would do it, that means it's not possible?

The best (and often only) indicator of future behavior is past behavior. And if we go on that, I think we all know how Meta looks.
