- Comment on New data shows companies are rehiring former employees as AI falls short of expectations 3 days ago:
yes if they want you back you NEED to demand higher pay. Many companies, even some of my clients, are trying to pull the “we need you back but we’re going to pay less than what we previously paid you” bullshit thinking devs will be desperate enough to take it.
- Comment on Bluesky experiments with dislikes and 'social proximity' to improve conversations 1 week ago:
your last point is key. Bluesky has notoriously horrible moderation and a CEO that refuses to acknowledge it and mocks users that do.
This reeks of Bluesky letting “the babies have their bottles” so to speak but I feel it’s a waste of time. Bluesky users already heavily depend on lists to build their own communities in a way. It’s almost to the point on there where if something you dislike shows up in your feed well that’s your fault and the communities as a whole for not almost shadow banning an account via the god knows how many block lists users have created. “disliking” a post isn’t going to do anything. it’s stupid.
Hell Bluesky users have been trying to get some transphobic journalist banned from the platform for well over a year now and the CEO of Bluesky has essentially said “lol, nope, you all suck. don’t like it? stop posting in protest.” When Bluesky users are offered an alternative with better moderation that THEY can control i.e. Mastodon they tut their tongues and roll their eyes saying “eww the linux of social media”.
so again, let the babies have their bottles. it’s not going to do anything because Bluesky has clearly said they don’t want to do anything.
