  • From what I’ve seen, every push to have everyone return to the office has either been that they just want control over employees or they want butts in seats because the seats aren’t free. It’s never been about productivity as folks that work from home normally are always happy to drive in to the office if they have to. What’s the different if they drive in during morning rush hour traffic vs at lunch time when they only have to physically be in the office for a few hours.

    I think a large part of the push for return to work is definitely the control of employees when management actively selects for people who are sociopaths.









  • I think it was always the same psychology of making a number go up makes people get dopamine or something. Otherwise, it was a system to try and filter out bots used for astroturfing that I felt didn’t really do a good job. There were always plenty of karma farming bots that would literally just copy and paste a different comment to create a fake post history.





  • Same as reddit, same as Facebook, same and Twitter. It’s the same as any website. Anything you post is most certainly getting scraped to create a profile on you. Whether that is for nefarious purposes for just to better serve you ads is irrelevant.

    There is no privacy to anything you post on the internet to public forums.

    Just look at the effort that went into making “work from home” viable back in 2020. The fediverse is not a unique case of being a “privacy nightmare”.

    For fun, try to “dox yourself” by searching on Google from a different IP and computer from what you normally use for your name, usernames, etc. to see what information is freely available to the public.

    tldr: practice good opsec!
