HardlightCereal got banned from Raddle for doxing someone. The site’s primary admin quite literally uses they pronouns. That doesn’t preclude enbypobia in itself but should at least make you question what HardlightCereal’s actual goal is without more evidence.

I’m not seeing any serious suggestions of that there. Looks more like hypothetical talk.

I actually had a similar thought to that yesterday. Could moderators be classified as employees for the work they do?

However, the Supreme Court has made it clear that the FLSA was not intended “to stamp all persons as employees who without any express or implied compensation agreement might work for their own advantage on the premises of another.”

I think you would have a massive uphill struggle to argue Reddit’s moderators are employees in court. Without that no back pay and no union.

Looks like they smell blood in the water with Twitter’s downward spiral.

Meta’s text-based platform will be decentralized and interoperable with Mastodon, which is built on the ActivityPub protocol.

That’s what you have to look out for. They will exploit anything they can get their hands on if they think there is money to be made.

Be careful with that thinking. That way can lead to complacency. Big tech loves embrace, extend, extinguish

I could see a corp like Microsoft or Google or someone else seeing long term value in federated services. They could create a service utilizing the technology and spread it to their user base. Slowly add in some special sauce to their own version of it to attract more people to their part of it. Then break compatibility with everything else to stop someone from stealing users back.
