If you're australian, I may be one of those coworkers
I screen share in teams calls all the time and Hexbear and Mastodon are in my bookmarks bar, right there. Half the time in the office I'm just blatantly browsing this site on my second monitor
tfw you go from an uneducated "lefty" lib who thinks helping people with their finances is a noble goal, to a depressed communist with a Bachelors Degree in Finance/Economics, working in finance capital, just barely avoiding telling your coworkers openly to kill landlords
(you secretly know that a number of your coworkers do, in fact, want to kill landlords)
Me realizing Mindfury has a corporeal form and exists somewhere on Earth beyond being a funny Internet dinosaur

As a programmer all my friends I’ve made at work are right wing freaks of some sort. Now I work at a bigger company and there’s some folks I assume would be cool but I work remote and don’t really have the chance to be friends.
It’s funny I went to a company social and the politics were terrible. Senior SWE was telling me about how he doesn’t understand how there’s homeless people in Texas since it’s so cheap here (he previously lived in the Bay Area). Obsessed with petty theft shit happening in the bay and just overall a nasty person.
gonna be honest, I've never met as many leftish programmers in one place before. they got a fash dude fired more or less instantly a year before they hired me. I was told there are still some right wing assholes but they know to keep their mouths shut, at least in this group.

It's me, your boss
thanks b0ss
(I use tree style tabs so they can read my tabs when I share my screen -- I didn't hide this place because who the fuck has heard of hexbear)
its very cool what you discovered about your workplace, but can you imagine if your boss wasn't cool and simply googled "hexbear"? I wouldn't want my employer to see just the site taglines here! I feel like you might want to reconsider this policy if you ever work with different people lol
man I can't keep track of this shit. I have thousands of tabs open.
YOU HAVE TO TELL ME IF YOU POST HERE AND WHAT YOUR @ IS. THIS IS SO UNFAIR LEAVING ME ON THE HOOK LIKE THIS. DON'T MAKE ME POST PPB TO THE WORK SLACK AND SEE WHO LAUGHS.
nah
I've got a friend from irl who asked me if I've heard of this site once. We out here.

I saw a FB friend post a snip of a screenshot of a thread here, and was too cowardly to ask if he took it himself
