Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!
Some of the very worst of the worst liberal takes, apologia for fascist shit, and of course cryptobro grifts and even Tesla worship keep coming from there. It's fucked.
I don't want to say all programmers or tech workers are like that, but I don't like what I've seen so far from people with a .programming suffix on their names. 
Read again.
I wasn't talking about programmers in general in this thread; I was talking about the distinct number of reactionary and horrid right-wing takes from people with the .programming.dev suffix after their user names coming from the federated spaces.
I have argued many times in the past that tech workers are still workers even if it's unfortunate that too many fall into reactionary ideology.
Consider your rhetoric, and the reactions caused:
I don't think you intend it, but this otherizes a group of us workers. It's not just "wtf is up with programming.dev," but instead this now plants the idea that maybe there's something wrong with this group, specifically. Not just that there's an issue with some random Lemmy instance.
Look at the reactions, the culture this kind of post creates:
And so on, and so forth. At the core, otherization and division. And I don't think a majority of the assertions in this thread are even remotely true.
To be clear, I don't think you or anyone in this thread means ill by it. But this thread, and threads like it, frustrate me.
Are you blaming me for other people's replies?
At this point, this sounds like bad faith or even concern trolling for me.
I'll turn it around, just in case it is not: you're apparently blaming me for deliberately "otherizing" the people you identify with. I could, just as easily, cite decades of "otherizing" non-STEM students and non-STEM (especially non-TE) workers as "underwater basket weavers" "plebians" and a few other trendy condescending titles that amounted to "the ruling class pays them less therefore they are intrinsically less valuable people" ideology.
If you're going to blame me for replies like that, it really does cut both ways.
