Do y’all have Black people on staff who are NOT DEI? Engineers, designers, trust & safety? Anyone? What’s the point of these values if your platforms continue to aide implicit violence? These responses and “community guidelines” are a waste of your time and resources, no? Give it a rest.

It’d seem as if Black Americans are constantly protesting in the U.S. Unsure if you’ve been part of the large scale protests in 2020 and 2023 but these communities show up en masse, often to the detriment of organizers.

Eh, I’d rather be melodramatic than be an exploitative megalomaniac.

The way these C-Suite teams continue to chop up companies, decimating people’s livelihoods is so …villainous.

It’s making me cringe cause there are literally no guardrails. Who you block is public information, which means it can be weaponized against you and that’s ….

I’ve never expected a platform to be the resolution to a society that is rapidly devolving into an echo chamber of antagonism but good god.

I’m not crossing the picket line. Mind you, I’ve never worked at Starbucks a day in my life but I’ve been yelling about it every chance I get.

For fellow seekers: I built a free.99 Notion guide (soon to be wiki) called The SaaSy Guide (get it, sassy… SaaS?) a compilation of resources and tools for jobseekers all in one place. V3 soon! https://doercreative.notion.site/The-SaaSy-Guide-v2-f2c124db72fc42ac9bcbfd9fdee04240

Someone said to her it was ableist that she went to her garden and that’s when I knew…the plot was lost.

Same! I’m surprised we haven’t run in to each other at some other point, though I tend to be an observer usually than a contributor. I’m excited to see where bsky goes. 🙏🏾

Fair! I like the peak behind the curtain approach, it’s ballsy and hopefully most consumers are now hip to the fact that when a platform launches - it’s only 3% of what it’ll be one day because even the MVP is nowhere near the ideal. Building the rocketship while it’s flying type vibes.

Though I hope we get more thought leader folks and funny people sooner rather than later.

Eh, kinda sounds like the makeup of most text oriented platforms as they come up so… sounds like it’s right on track and expected. 🤷🏾‍♀️

It’s only a few weeks in! I’m sure as more voices and people join, spaces will begin to film out and feel less cliqued off and community as it is elsewhere will start to really flourish.

I genuinely can’t tell if I’m an unfit candidate, my resume(s) are not communicating my abilities, or if the market is that bleak. My saving grace has been my ability to work in film to supplement my dwindling savings. Maybe, it’s time to hang up my lil hat and leave SaaS forever.

Ohhhh, replies to posts (sk**ts) don’t count towards your count. Does this affect if you respond to yourself? 🤔
