Sales have fallen 59% in a year… Musk took over 9 months ago… weird coincidence.

I’m in my mid-40s and I didn’t go to college – I was one of the last generations where you didn’t HAVE HAVE HAVE to have an advanced degree to qualify for something like an admin assistant position.

I truly hope that the younger generations take this as an opportunity to stand up for themselves and stop feeding into the notion that everyone needs advanced degrees. It’s absurd. If no one has a degree, then they can’t demand that people have degrees. Degrees should be for engineers, doctors, people with advanced careers. Past that, it’s simply a money making scheme for colleges and a bullshit bill of goods that they’re selling to people who cant, and shouldn’t have to, pay for it.

Walking away and not looking back is actually very powerful.

I mean seriously… We don’t have ANY better and more qualified candidates in our 331.9 million citizens? Really?

I was a baconreader person too but I deleted it and moved 100% to beehaw when things started getting weird at that other place

Thank you for this in the short term. Not gonna lie, I was a little grossed out by all the furry / anime porn / gone wild stuff that was crossing my feed when I hit all. No matter how fast I blocked the communities, I couldn’t get them all. I’m not a prude person at all but I also don’t come here to surf random porn.

so - as one of those people who really didn’t know much about the 3rd party apps or even what the protest/blackout was, I was wishing for an alternative for quite some time now. Reddit has become an echo chamber where you’re downvoted for having your own opinion, no matter how vanilla the “dissenting” opinion is. The trolliing and constant arguing gets old after awhile, and I don’t think the current state of reddit is what the original intent of the platform ever was. This, for me, was why I gravitated toward Beehaw specifically. I’m not going back to Reddit. It reminds me of a playground full of bullies, itching for an argument. This platform is so much more my speed. And I feel like there are a pretty decent amount of people here who are in the same mind… for us, the alternative is welcome and Spez can wait til he retires for us to return because it’s not happening.

hang on, what leaked internal email, do you know where I can find that?

Think of it like moving to a new house rather than picking up your house and moving it to a new neighborhood. The excitement comes from the differences even if you miss the other place.
