Imagine being "stoked" that Elon became your CEO, you email him and then fired. 🙃

It's also nice to see I'm not the only one who does a goof with URLs sometimes "workplace-salute-emoji" 😂

Or is that URL intentional 🤔

Twitter might have had a reputation as a left-leaning workforce, but there had always been a faction that disapproved of its progressive ideals. On Slack, some of these workers had formed a channel called #i-dissent, where they asked questions like why deadnaming a trans colleague was considered “bad.” When Musk announced he was buying the company, one of the more active i-­dissenters was thrilled. “Elon’s my new boss and I’m stoked!” he wrote on Linked­In. “I decided to send him a slack message. I figured you miss 100% of the shots you don’t make 😅 🚀 🌕” This employee was cut during the first round of layoffs. Soon, all the prominent members of the #i-dissent Slack channel would be gone. The channel itself was archived, while bigger social channels like #social-watercooler were abandoned.

@gamingonlinux If you're on Slack you're slacking off. Pretty obvious that anyone that chats there regularly is on top of the list even with right politics.

Only safe space to shitpost with your colleagues is IRC these days. People are just dumb if they think their Slack chats aren't surveilled.

@gamingonlinux
I was just going to post about this article. I have a hard time understanding how anyone can continue to use the bird site and support fascism and oligarchy.

@gamingonlinux «be careful what you wish for» and all that. Dante's contrapasso in action.

@gamingonlinux conservatives are by far the biggest cucks on the planet, when that whole thing trended a few years back they were just telling on themselves
