meta employees need to unionize and strike. honest to god for the good of all mankind. facebook is an incredibly dangerous propaganda tool
Good! How else will the Engineers, Researchers, Support Staff and Coders continue to Improve the Product if the EXECUTIVES don't make More?
- Oh, you don't need those people anymore. Because AI. Or some shit.
I did nazi that coming.
Surprised Pikachu face.
Good. If you still work for Meta, you're either a garbage prson, a bootlicker or a techbro.
Get stepped on, and not in a kinky way.
- There are also people staying to try to unionize or sabotage the company. Don't bundle them with the scabs. Quitting won't change much within meta.
  
  They’re still working for a company that engages in mass data collection and selling people’s private info to the highest bidder. A union at the company doesn’t make that ethical.
  
  Fair point.
So much talent locked up in big tech. I wish they would all unionize and also leave and launch open source startups.
- Open source still doesn't have a good funding model.
- open source startups are still part of the same ecosystem that fuels big tech. Big tech, being more powerful, can capture commons very easily and that's true for the vast majority of open-source code. The very concept of open-source was conceived by a person with the same ideological and cultural background of the tech oligarchs now in power.
  
  That's just doomerism.
Funny that
The year is 1788, and we are all French peasants...
- And all that only a tiny portion of the hate i feel for greedy billionaires who destroy the lives of millions because they want even more wealth and power
- is this from I have no mouth and I must scream
  
  Yep.
  There was a point and click adventure harken Ellis helped with that fleshed the story out.
