I did retirement home training and used to think it was a sweet job. Then I got in the business and underestimated how demoralizing it was as they give you the easy elders in training while the others make you, or at least me, really think of the fact the job just amounts to an unkarmic freebie.

~~Especially given that the above link points to lemmy.ml, an instance notorious for harbouring tankies & amplifying pro-authoritarian talking points.~~

The link is .ml but points to a thread in .world. My bad 😅

no, we are posting to a community on lemmy.ml here, that link points to a community hosted on lemmy.world (as displayed on lemmy.ml)

idc because neither of those is my instance, I subscribe to communities regardless of what instance they're hosted on

[–] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Confusing... My instance is .world, and I similarly subscribe to communities regardless of instance. So seeing a .ml link had me go 🚨 tankie instance for a second, conveniently failing to notice that A: that post is in .world, but seem from .ml; and B: this post is in .ml.

My bad 😅

Though I would suggest OP to see if they can fix the link to one that changes the specific link based on the visitor's instance

I fixed the link. For some reason the Lemmy Client (Voyager) keeps generating '.ml' links (even though I'm on Lemm.ee)

This whole identical thread really confused Voyager, I thought I was seeing double.
