Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

We are in post-competition capitalism. Even if the alternative isn’t owned by the same parent company, they will do the same bullshit.

Its disgusting, really. It‘s also part of our daily lives. Having a great idea or great skills isnt enough, unless they are part of the dark triad. People with those skills will always eat your lunch - for free.

We need to pathologize these behaviors instead of normalizing them.
