  • So they should, child labour laws should apply to these kids just as any other business. The money earned from these videos need to be paid to the child. Even if it’s in a trust fund where the kid can take it out when they’re old enough and can make better decisions. Like child tv stars they need to only have to work a set amount of hours, no longer.

    When I say this I’m talking about toy channels, I’m not talking about the mumfluencer channels. This kind of constant forceful filming of their childrens every moment should be stopped, kids need to have privacy, it’s known to be detrimental to their mental health when they’re constantly documented, and they are also far more likely to get bullied because of it.

    I can’t begin to imagine all my bad childhood memories being immortalised thanks to a pushy parent who saw me as a money machines more than a person.




  • Company: You need to have everything ready before the start of your shift.

    Me: Do I get paid for coming in early?

    Company: No

    Me: Okay, if I’m starting before my shift time then I am going home early to make up for the lost time.

    Company: If you leave 1 minute early we have to deduct an hour from your wages

    Me: leaves

    Company: nobody wants to work anymore.

    Companies have normalised wage theft but call it what it is. It’s theft.

    Not even just that… Alienates all potential leftwing/brand friendly advertiser’s through changes and being the spokesperson for the platform.

    “We’re down 50% how could this have happened???” - Elon Musk

    Dude needs to stfu, make an alt account. He has chosen to be the spokesperson for the platform. Spouting off conspiracies and controversial takes. You can’t be surprised nobody wants to associate with him.

    He is a liability and a brand risk. Sure he can have his opinions but here is the problem…

    He has chosen to be extremely public and force those opinions onto the average consumer feed due to his narcissistic tendencies and it is biting him in the ass.

    No sympathy. He wanted free speech, (albeit it isn’t because he is okay as long as it doesn’t criticise him or his affiliates.) now he has his free speech platform but in the same way advertisers can chose not to engage with it.


  • Some information I have posted to Lemmy.World:

    I am not a super code-literate person so bare with me on this… But. Still please becareful. There appears to be a vulnerability.

    Users are posting images like the following:

    https://imgur.com/a/RS4iAeI

    And inside hidden is JavaScript code that when executed can take cookie information and send it to a URL address.

    Among other things. At this time if you see an image please click the icon circled before clicking the link. DO NOT CLICK THE IMAGE. If you see anything suspicious, please report it immediately. It is better a false report than a missed one.

    I have seen multiple posts by these people during the attack. It is most certainly related to JS.

    I’ll be honest. I really do feel their argument about open registrations is a weak one. Reddit is effectively open registration. The only thing you need on Reddit is an email and then you’re in.

    The moderation tools are a fair point. I really do feel like they really want to make in their eyes a safe space. Which is their perogative but not something I personally vibe with given how much they are deleting and removing. I’ve rarely had to step in as a moderator in the places I run, most people are behaving. One total person I had to ban and they were not from Lemmy.World.




  • Good practice; See a post that might fit a theme sutiable for somewhere else? Cross post it to a place that it suits. You can go to the community and search for a place like “Facepalm” and crosspost it there.

    I have been trying to raise interest for other communities Mildly Infuriating has hit 2.81K members which is staggering, I’m honestly so happy to see it but we still have a way to go. I have every desire to spread the people of the community around as it’s a win for Lemmy and a spite to Reddit. It’s in our interest for the fediverse to explode and grow with content.

    It’s why I’m also advocating for communities to partner with each other. You can place links to other communities that may have a similar theming that other people might like. It would be a great way to offer up more content, and give that much needed love to communities starting and growing! <3
