Hey there, friend :)

I just wanted to mention to you directly that you are a human being and you have choices here.

First acknowledging that you do need to stay employed of course and I don’t blame you, as the worker, for helping Reddit during this moment. But there are these few moments each day at your work where you can make small, deliberate decisions on behalf of your fellow human beings over hollow corporate furtherance.

Just do a bit less each day. Forget to send an email here and there. Copy the wrong “Debbie” or “Todd” in that email that you do send - honest mistake. Forget to ban that mod you are asked to ban, or forget one in the group. If you’re feeling bold, get off of your work machine and reach out to those mods on a dummy account with a heads up.

Again, not you’re fault as an individual either inn a broken system, but you probably have small opportunities every day to help the world and hurt Reddit a bit. Embrace those opportunities.

We believe in you.

Anyone working on reddit might benefit from contacting some of the people that used to work on twitter, just so that they are prepared for what’s to come y´know.
I mean spez already said he admires Elon Musk’s directive of twitter, it doesn’t take much to know that its going to turn into a very shitty place to work for if it hasn’t reached that point yet.

Create a post

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
