  • My last employer also asked us to put up glassdoor reviews, but that was when they generally had a good image on the site and had received a few (honestly undeserved at the time) negative reviews.

    As things changed for the worse, my colleagues and I watched their rating slowly decline over the course of a year and a half. The higher ups quickly stopped mentioning it. They… do not have a good image on glassdoor anymore.

    Are you able to submit a new review? I didn’t leave my own review until after I was laid off, so I haven’t bothered to “update” mine.







  • I’ve seen a few lemmy discussions on this so far, and honestly the best option I’ve seen is to just ignore Place.

    To participate, even to advertise lemmy, we would have to engage, which is what reddit is looking for. Even then, admins will likely take the reigns and prevent any serious effort from being fruitful. There’s just not that much benefit and plenty of downside.

    It’s attention seeking behavior. Ignoring it and letting the event fall flat (or at least as flat as is in our power) would send so much more of a message than “join lemmy” or “fuck spez”.



  • All credit where credit is due, it’s an impressive project. Just some things where I’m like… “this isn’t going to stand up to significant traffic as-is”. I’ve legit considered starting a clone - not least because I’m just not as familiar with rust, yet - but that would be counterproductive to my goal of improving things.

    As far as improvements, honestly, if you’re just hosting a small instance with a small user count, you’ll probably be fine. If you start getting significant amounts of traffic, that’s where I see problems starting to arise.

    Personally, the instance I’m working on, I’m trying to build to support scaling to multiple geolocated servers (and multiple processes on each server to support traffic) with centralized database and image hosting among them. The docker setup is… not suitable for such 😅 I’d love to see how some of the bigger instances have their architectures set up, to see how much they deviate from the standard.
