lol a hastily deleted reply giving me a "how dare you" on the grounds that they have a partner who is a cancer survivor and somehow still make unpaid contributions to the web, perhaps they read my bio LOL

Not linking directly because I don't want to shit on projects I believe are genuinely trying to make the web better, but every time I see a post about "the small web" or a more "humane" web or whatever that includes phrases like this about content: "created without the motivation of financial gain" I sigh so deeply lol

I am begging ethical web enthusiasts to understand what an extreme privilege it is to spend time working on something without worrying about money

Didn't we learn this from open source already?

This shit is how you end up with spaces at best lacking inclusion and more likely hostile to a diverse representation of voices

Wanting to get paid for work isn't an optional extra for the overwhelming majority of people in the world ffs

@samwalkow oh yes it's "inappropriate" πŸ’€

Side gripe: a lot of these efforts are based on nostalgia for a past or perceived lost web that's meaningless to almost everyone on the web today, I don't want something we had or believe we had, I want something better that's shaped by the folk who'll be most affected by its future

@MichaelTBacon Absolutely, but we also created a situation in which unpaid contribution was a requirement to access many opportunities

@MichaelTBacon you are arguing with points I haven't made, let's leave it at that

@o_simardcasanova @samwalkow dressing up a requirement for independent wealth as "ethical" is absolutely wild

I see there's a new flavour of that "Europeans take the entire summer off" patter about Europeans having shorter school hours.. πŸ’€

Can we just agree that getting kids to spend their days training to be productive workers is terrible, this race to the bottom shit does my head in

i’m up to my hips in a c1990s trash midden on our property (sorting out cans and glass and wondering about my life choices) and… there’s a bunch of these… anyone know what they’re from?

@ptoothfish Just here to appreciate the use of "midden"

One thing I miss about twitter is the comedy juxtapositions that arose on a general purpose social media platform, shitposts punctuated by updates on road closures from your local council, that kind of thing

Every time I open twitter my timeline seems to be full of videos of eggs being cooked in various ways

sue,
@sue@glasgow.social avatar

It feels like a premonition of the web of the future, just endless scrolling through vaguely hypnotic videos of things that may or may not be real being made

I am wary of generalisations in ideas like the drama triangle. But honestly when I look back at every job or team I've worked on, I can immediately identify the person everyone was trying to either reassure or placate, and the folk who thought they were helping but actually perpetuated the unhealthy dynamic. It's been almost ubiquitous in my experience.

sue,
@sue@glasgow.social avatar

The only people who seem not to have been pulled into it? The ones with a strong enough sense of self that they aren't using a job to shore it up.

Guess we better get used to it then LOL.

@mloxton I don't think this is so much about keeping / getting jobs as it is about the interpersonal dynamic that happens whenever folk are in the same environment for a sustained period of time
