A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Finding out the DNC has an unpaid intern working the Lemmy beat would be so fucking funny.

That the account moderates "A Boring Dystopia" carries levels of irony my mind can barely even grasp.

I don’t believe it because while the Dems are terrible at social media they’d never waste money on Lemmy

That's the cool thing about unpaid interns...

We're talking about capitalists, here. They understand opportunity costs are losses.

I'm not sure what that has to do with the use of free labor.

Basically if they use an unpaid intern on Lemmy that's one less unpaid intern on a social media platform that average people actually use.
