Okay, so the issue is that you can’t imagine someone doing anything that you or someone you personally know hasnt been able to do?
You realize also that the commenter could be talking about applying to both back in the 2000s or 2010s? Maybe back during a time when the process wasn’t this stringent or when it was a labor market?
Sure. You don’t think these bright and lucky people ever interview at two places at once?
Having leverage to demand a top salary from one of these orgs by having them counter a job offer from the other seems to be the exact thing a bright and lucky person would do.
I guess you don’t think anyone on lemmy, a platform that leans heavily towards tech like early reddit did, could be bright and lucky?
Yeah, it’s not like a software dev would interview with 2 big software companies, right?
Sure sure. The guy who unprompted endorsed a trump appointment that has deep US Telco ties, bizarrly said “the GOP is the party for the little guy,” had nothing but wonderful things to say about J.D vance, stated that Chuck Schumer slow rolled 2 internet privacy bills because of “quid pro quo” with his daughters working for big tech, used the phrase “triggered” unprompted, and just randomly added “88” to the end of his new user name.
Yeah, that guy is just neutral and disillusioned with the Democratic party. It’s not utterly clear what spaces and politics he aligns with. That would just be wholley unknowable.
That’s a pretty good methodology. Threads are still distinct, but all on the same page at least. Hopefully lemmy can implement something similair.
I would reduce the distinctiveness of the threads, personally. Lemmy/reddit/etc commonly have separate subthreads on the topic same page, so its not like it needs to be a prominent feature that each subthread is from a different comm. Note it maybe, but less prominent seems better.
