Peertube is almost there. Just needs a good server really, most of the servers are too small for the market share. Or at least fit the general public, I’m loving it ATM.

mesamunefire , to asklemmy in What’s the most positive experience you’ve had on Lemmy / Kbin / Fediverse so far?

Also I get more up votes and less down votes over hear. Less people trying to game the system, since there is no real reason to.

I wish it was a bit more affordable.

It’s why it’s so important to own your stuff and not give money to subscriptions you don’t have to.

Thats the neat trick, never assume anonymity. Def in a case like this one. I treat people with respect even here.

But I guess if I had to share, im still really pissed that our 401ks are still locked and I cant access it from John Handcock. Plus some people got 2 paychecks taken instead of just the last one. We had to cancel our old bank account because bitwise post Jake/Irma tried to come after past checks from multiple people. If my bank didnt protect me, direct deposit apparently will happily allow them to take past checks back. And BW did not talk to us this entire time after we were furloughed. After 3 weeks of being furloughed, we were still technically employed and had ex-bitwisers try to tell us not to talk to the media, to trust the system. I am still angry about how it all went down.

Its a little of both. Like most orgs there were some who did their job and did it well. The org was in existence for a little over 10 years. Most of that time, they didnt have venture capital. They were a very small org that suddenly got big and decided to expand outside their local community. There were parts that were very profitable, just not the building and how top heavy it got at the end. Both CEOs would take month long vacations and leave us to do…whatever it was they did. The family/friends thing was definitely a problem.

The unlimited vacation was a kind of red flag to me. Most orgs who do that really just want you working 24/7 and not take any real time off. Also 401k took 3 years to vest but no partial vesting period. It was all or nothing.

I wasnt part of the leadership, but I was a software developer for over 10+ years. I made 6 figures, but that isn’t unheard of in this industry.
