THESE DAYS there are some laws protecting most workers. Those laws were written in the blood of striking miners.

I'm not a tech worker. I have only heard stories told by the ones that quit.
I cannot even imagine how quickly entire systems would come crashing down to the tune of billions of dollars if tech workers ever decided to strike.
The amount of leverage organized tech workers could have is mind boggling.
I recently started a Kbin account and noticed that a few of the communities I searched:
- were empty, and
- had, in their info, the claim that they had started right when I searched them.
Which tells me that the Kbin instance only stores local information about a community after the first of its members searches that community.
I've seen the opinion before, in community college. I was assigned to read something, and it laid out a damn good argument for why working a register never taught anyone "life skills."
Such an eloquent response
Wonderful. Thank you South Samurai. I'll do just that.
This is one hell of a write up, stranger. Thank you!
Mastodon and calckey have the most active writing communities imo.
It is very difficult to search for something when you don't know it exists. Now that I know Mastodon and calckey have a vibrant writing community that you recommend, I know there's some value to finding it and learning how to immerse my account in that community. Much appreciated.
I think the best route is a lemmy or kbin author account combined with mastodon. Instances rarely matter in terms of where you join, so long as it’s a fairly stable and not heavily defederated/defederating one.
You even gave a recommended route!? Seriously, you have my gratitude. This is awesome.
By "combined with mastodon" do you mean to create one new account at lemmy or kbin and one at mastodon? Or do you mean to create one new account at lemmy or kbin and use it to connect with the writing communities at mastodon?
Thank you kindly. I feel like this answer supplements Samurai's answer really well and gives a solid illustration of their point when they said,
I’ve looked over the other options, and they’re pretty meh tbh, for a writer in specific.
Now I know what's so "meh" about at least one of them.
Oh, but boy have they tried.
