I would be surprised if Accenture wasn’t pretty upset by this as well. Not a great selling point for potential clients: go with our contractors and they just might join your employees union!

Surprised this wasn’t talked about in the article or anywhere else in the comments. I feel like it doesn’t make sense for contractors to unionize during a contract job as that would change the terms of the contract.

Started last night. My sh.itjust.works account works fine (hence how I’m writing this) and my midwest.social account works fine in Memmy. Anyone else experiencing anything like this?

Lemmy isn’t ready yet to completely replace Reddit for most people, and that’s part of the fun!!

Do you think Reddit has still a chance? in c/reddit@lemmy.ml

I’m sticking with Lemmy because it’s picking up all the people smart enough to figure out how to use Lemmy, leaving all the morons that were making Reddit shit to begin with on Reddit. Huge win for my sanity.
