Play Squad where you can easily spend 10 mins running to the next objective because your SL is to dumb to call for a heli or organize a ride.

Its not though. The employee is far more likely to win the wage theft case than the union firing case and I just think its wrong to try and dissuade people from fighting this issue. Its actively harmful to people to push that kind of a narrative.

Being fired for forming a union is a completely different case than committing wage theft then firing your employee for bringing it up.

Unionization is great but thats a much bigger ask and far less likely to suceed. And risker as the employee can be fired with no protection as soon as they're found trying to unionize.

I think employees should be trying to unionize as a default and then if they're the victim of wage theft seek legal recourse.

compared to the other foss alternatives its the best we got by a long long way. Unless signal is foss then its the best.

No, lets be clear wage theft covers a lot of things. Here we are talking about a very specific situation where an employer is clearly violating the FLSA. You can even see it in this thread, so many people dont even believe that its illegal. So they dont even know they can sue for it.

"they’re going to find an arbitrary reason, or better yet write down “I didn’t like that person” because it’s a right to work state and even in non right to work states" nah that does not hold up in court. A judge isnt going to look at an employer getting sued for wage theft and then said oh i guess you just happened to fire this person. Nah thats never goign to hold up. Also yes US labor laws are fucking dogshit but they exist.

Do you seriously think people aren't winning these kind of cases? FLSA cases get won all the time. Also its different because wage theft is illegal but trump can legally rape kids according to the supreme court.

So you're telling me that the waitress earning $2 hr + $3 per hour in tips will be getting paid $5 an hour and not $7.25? If thats the case, then thats wage theft and its illegal and she should find a lawyer who will sue that employer.

What the fuck is your point? "What happens if they find out im suing them" If your employer doesn't pay you correctly and then fires you when you seek legal action they are fucked under the Fair Labor Standards Act. They've just increased their fine from up to 10k to add another 25k.

I actually perplexed why people are pushing back against my claim that people should seek to protect their federally protected work rights. The examples that have been brought up are open and shut cases that will be picked up by any law firm and they will sue for recomp + damages + lawyer fees. Yes its "harder" than doing nothing, but by doing nothing you do not fix the problem and continue to be exploited. There is no magic eye that can perfectly detect illegal activity its up to the victim to come forward and make their case thats how law works in our society.

The ability to block posts by keyword would be nice. The ability to merge communities and have lemmy move the subscriptions over to the merged community, mastodon does something similar with moving accounts so it is possible.

This is a valid complaint in an ideal world, but in our current world this happens with every other site that has the same discussion model as lemmy. Your posts are not gone when you delete them on reddit. Reddit has a ton of mirrors and reddit themselves will never delete your post.

Personally I'd rather see lemmy grow as it is rather than die try the extremely tough task of building a good federated privacy protocol. The privacy on lemmy comes from being able to create an account while providing no info, being able to access from TOR. People seeing your public posts is debatably even a privacy issue.

Try All + scaled it order active posts and scales it so its not dominated by large communties.. Also yeah its expected large communities will dominate an all inclusive feed. They product the most content and have the most users.
