I like collecting and tinkering with vintage stuff from the late 70's & 80's. Star Wars stuff, Computers, Synthesisers, Vehicles. I also like the idea of Bluesky, and the web becoming decentralised and DIY again. Isle of Wight, UK

It does once you realise everyone is an impostor. I used to assume that people in positions of authority, senority and power got there due to a special level of wisdom, intelligence, character and diligence. The past 8 years have blown away that delusion.

I don't really want to engage with a post-hoc rationalisation of calling for my public beheading, by someone who knows nothing about me. You should be trying to engage with what I'm saying, not the other way round, because all you're doing is arrogantly moralising from a position of total ignorance.

I didn't complain about having to pay them. I explained that I was unable to pay them what I'd like to, and pointed out that I work for less than minimum wage so that they can keep their jobs, to counter the claim that I must be a selfish psychopath that's exploiting other people.

I don't really know what a more appropriate word would be to use. Operator? Really I just work for myself and have to pay people to help me when the workload gets too much. "Owning" the business just means I'm ultimately responsible for everything.

Oh that's a shame. That's the first time I've encountered twitter-style nastiness on bluesky.

I've been a small business owner for twenty years. All my staff but one get minimum wage. I get less than minimum wage. My staff have always been consistently paid more than I have. I am not a psychopath. There's just not enough money around to pay anyone properly.
