People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.

MODERATORS
Funny how in one Lemmy post everyone is complaining that people get burned for life in the job market for making a mistake. Or how employers are evil for mandatory drug testing... And in the next one they get riled up because a company would dare hire a recovering alcoholic to ride a bike
I think it has a lot to do with whether you are helping them to rebuild their life, or exploiting their desperation.
Would not hiring them help
Paying a living wage and providing social security for workers would help more. Two wrongs don't make a right.
Well the original comment I was replying to worded it like these people should not be hired for these jobs, at all.
Of course I agree everyone should be free to pay them a better wage
"Help" would entail treating them as equal, not paying them a fraction of worth just because they cant find work anywhere else.
