Btw for those who don't know, this app is called Blind. It's where tech workers go to anonymously post. Also 700k TC is basically their yearly take-home pay, and it's a real number (see levels.fyi)
These people are disgusting, contributing nothing to society, not realizing how privileged they are, while the Lemmy devs live in poverty
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Lol, what? This is so dumb. I'm sure there's some few people that make close to 700k, but even the most talented devs and other salaried workers I know are making 200k-300k maximum. If I'm thinking of the average, probably around 150k.
Yes, that's a lot of money. Yes, people should be better about recognizing their privilege. Yes, this person seems like a huge asshole, but that would probably be true even if they were broke.
But at the end of the day, these people that you're hating on are so far below the insanely wealthy. Even 700k is far below people who make 10s of millions in passive income, or the ones who are worth billions. Like, we shouldn't ignore shitty behavior and awful mindsets like the people in the post have, but they're really not the same as the people who are truly exploitating the working class.
