I have a Twitter account, but I haven’t even signed into it or looked at Twitter in a month or more. It’s just a shittier version of Lemmy or Reddit where people need to actually bother getting followers to be heard, and they can only say things with little to no context. Not really a huge surprise that it’s the Waffle House of (not so) intelligent internet debates.
The IFF offer included the company being able to change benefits (like health coverage and retirement) with a 30-day notice and take away contract language of overtime pay after 8 hours, among other takeaways. IFF has already increased benefits costs and made multiple attempts to reduce union rights in many matters that would rob members of personal and family time.
That’s just despicable… I wish the workers success.
Folks want to offboard their issue somewhere with minimal effort. It’s much easier to do that in free text in an app you’re already in than to submit a form where you have to categorize your issue on a website you’d have to pull it.

I don’t think that’s possible to do using activity pub, but if you have a matrix account you can add it in your settings.

You should see it if you look at my profile page, for example.
purchase something like a small Synology NAS and learn how to set up the networking/firewall bits
buy/repurpose a used desktop/laptop, install something like yunohost/unraid
buy parts for your own server, put it together, use the same own server but install proxmox, setup VMs/containers
use the same own server but install debian, play around with docker/docker-compose/ansible
If you don’t have the means to get new hardware, you can use hyper-v or virtualbox for free on Windows or virtualbox/virt-manager on Linux on existing hardware.
Simple project to start with: install pihole and configure it as your DNS adblocking filter at home
install iphole on a VM/PC/raspberry pi that is connected to your home LAN
configure your PC or router to use the pihole host as DNS server
test various websites you know that have ads before and after using pihole
While doing things like these, keep notes what you do by day, using those notes, put together your own howto manuals. Do not be afraid to fail, sleep over it and try again, don’t be afraid to ask specific questions here or on other forums, IRC.
