Everyone who called Firefish stupid needs to come see this and reconsider.

I’d add “Update your resume” and start looking because if Reddit holds to the pattern of enschittification, then layoffs are coming. Pointless, stupid layoffs that don’t care how important your job is.

True. Though we’re blaming the wrong thing in that case, we don’t have town events and neighborhood gatherings because local communities don’t have the money or a set town space anymore since the public square has been corporatized over the last few decades. Everything’s been monetized, loitering laws have criminalized just hanging out. Real life has the same problem the internet has.

I bet this is more about the stress of being constantly available to your boss, your parents, your teachers, your neediest friends than about wanting a world without technology.
