Community Rules

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very “off topic”.

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Avoid AI generated content.

Avoid misinformation.

Avoid incomprehensible posts.

No threats or personal attacks.

No spam.

### Moderator Guidelines * Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral. * Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username. * When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM. * Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users. * Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling. * Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal. * Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated. * Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren’t unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do. * Don’t rush mod actions. If a case doesn’t need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback. * Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay. * Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course. * Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply. * First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary. * Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”. * No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.). * Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback. * Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

myyass@lemmy.world 12 hours ago

G- Guys can I just get the job. This is dumb.

Tollana1234567@lemmy.today a day ago

its nepotism and croniyism, if you had the chance of visiting the indeed forums before it was shutdown.

Earthwormjim91@lemmy.world 9 hours ago

Or, you know, good old fashioned networking. Unless that’s what you mean by cronyism.

Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 hours ago

cronyism.

IronKrill@lemmy.ca a day ago

As someone that’s rode on nepotism jobs my entire adult life, I agree lol. It sure does make the interviewing process easier.

Gonzako@lemmy.world a day ago

Yall have dads?

SapphironZA@sh.itjust.works a day ago

Or being SSS and becoming self employed.

A is “I’m good friends with the guy” B is “My good friend knows a guy”

My old professor called and asked me if I was looking for a job because one of the company he was freelancing for wanted him to come over full time. He told me to apply and he’d vouch for me. I got the job.

WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 2 days ago

Very wholesome. Not many such exist.

OliveBrittle@piefed.ca 2 days ago

Good to know you’re actively screwed if your parents don’t care about you.

captainlezbian@lemmy.world 12 hours ago

Idk i figured that one out fairly quickly after it happened

(It actually did get better, I just didn’t get any nepotism)

ferret@sh.itjust.works a day ago

I mean, yes, pretty much, having shitty parents fucking sucks

Tollana1234567@lemmy.today a day ago

especially if they dont understand the job market, and the family is railing on the child for not finding a job in recent years.(i saw alot of posts during the layoffs on subs about it, its either the “child fails to launch” or hasnt been finding jobs for a few years, excluding the ones that arnt finding ones for decade+)

P1k1e@lemmy.world 2 days ago

Just find some old guy to be friends with. Chances are he knows a guy who needs a guy

Zizzy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 days ago

For what its worth, i havent talked to my parents in a decade and have moved around but have still landed jobs, its just stressful and time consuming bc most of the job postings are fake

You can take out Glassdoor and SimplyHired because they’re both owned by Indeed.

Tollana1234567@lemmy.today a day ago

glassdoor used to be better because of the reviews, until they got astroturfed.
