How the 'lazy girl job' took over work

It's a prop to promote whoever-she-is's tik-tok channel. If you haven't been looking out for yourself and constantly overwork yourself... no shit you shouldn't be doing that. Anyone who's worked is attempting to optimize less work for more pay. My distaste is for the article, btw. To address your question, it's just rebranding like you suggested. Why come up with something new when you have the next generation's social media app and all the ideas that worked on your generation to fuel the channel?

Why does Lemmy feel so fresh compared to Reddit?

Reply in thread

It could suck someday, but it doesn't suffer from the same things that made myspace -> facebook -> reddit suck. No money hungry executives profiting off underpaying employees to implement features no one asked for and selling astroturfing as a service. At least it doesn't seem that there's astroturfing as a service here yet.

Lol, I tested this out live. Most people still like to 'disagree button and run.' I think it comes from the 'debate me bro' atmosphere that seemed prevalent on Reddit. A lot of folks would rather just show they disagree than expose their logic on why. This trend can then be manipulated by bots to strengthen the 'unspoken disagreement' with opinions that don't jive with whatever agenda they've been created to support. And rather than talking out disagreements a lot of them devolved into 'then just leave.' Or even more venomously as 'this community will be better when you're gone.' ^.^

What are your thoughts on Instagram Threads?

You mean (definitely not Facebook) is releasing Twitter2^TM^ with a WHOPPING 500 character limit? So a company that's perpetually abused it's customers data is offering an alternative for castoffs from Reddit where they can serve you ads, limit your messages, and collect your data at the same time... in place of an already existent community driven instance of an open-source protocol / the ability to run my own instance? Fucking sign me up bro. Please Daddy Zuck, take it all! >:D
