  • federated isn’t actually the same thing as decentralized. lemmy isn’t intended to simply be a decentralized network of identical nodes that can automatically be synced and load balanced.

    it is expected that each instance will be have it’s own flavor, and have the autonomy to decide which other instances to mesh with.

    think more like a network of grassroot communities, and less like a MacDonald’s franchise.



  • Even in corporations that are committed to a good culture of kindness, you can still find opponents who won’t hesitate throw you under the bus in order to further an agenda.

    Using active tone in corporate is risky, because office politics can accuse it of being aggressive/hostile in order to block a policy. They don’t necessarily care that the messenger winds up getting written up by HR and sent to sensitivity training.

    I find myself being very careful about then tone of my emails after getting caught in the crossfire between two warring factions. Passive tone is less likely to come back to haunt you.

    I really hate having to navigate office politics, but it is what it is.
