What? Where do you work that you get paid for 40 hours while working and clocked in for 32 and also get to be clocked in while you’re not there? I have a fantastic boss and do not let myself get pushed around.

Hell no. I’ve been salaried and I’ve been hourly. I am more than willing to put in a few 50-55 or so hour weeks a year in exchange for being able to come in late or leave early for appointments without trouble, working about 35 hours a week every other week at most, being able to work from home more or less whenever I need to, never getting flagged for not clocking in/out at the right time… the list goes on and on. My salary is for 40 hour weeks, and I hold to that when I need to. But the reality of my job is that when there’s a crisis I need to be there. I’ll take that for all the advantages any day.

Unless you’re salary. A wise man once told me “The longer it takes us to do this, the closer we get to minimum wage.”

I want to be crystal clear. The content I am talking about wanting to view does NOT include CSAM, which is illegal in practically every country on earth (I’m fairly certain it’s actually all of them with any type of functioning government). At no point was I or am I advocating for the existence of CSAM anywhere in the fediverse. The only things I have ever advocated for is for fewer defederations, and dealing with those infractions as you would if it were posted to lemmy.world- namely, deleting the content and blocking the user. I am fully aware that mod tools on lemmy are very limited, and that your hands were tied with a fairly tight rope in regards of what to do about this as you can be legally culpable for content posted on other instances that gets mirrored to yours. I have only ever pointed out that punishing a group for the actions of a few can lead to problems with user retention by forcing innocent users to continue to instance hop, and that’s if they don’t give up and leave the fediverse. I would bet that very few of feddit’s users feel as I do about defederation, and they joined that instance for reasons completely unrelated to that. This is essentially being banned from many communities all at once through literally zero fault of their own. The solution I want is unlikely to occur, nor is it feasible with what lemmy currently has for tools, but that does not stop me from wanting that solution. Many people do not see defederation as a problem, and that also does not stop me from seeing it as one.
