According to the comments r/europe_sub and r/canada_sub might be involved as well.
Palantir is pretty awful. I knew a guy who took a job there, a bunch of years ago. When he said where he was going, I asked “But what if they work on something really shitty? Like spying on people?”. He was like, “Meh”, with a big shrug.
He was friendly and kind to the people around him, but I guess he just didn’t care about anyone he didn’t know personally right now.
I’ve heard that’s how a lot of wealthy people feel. They want the absolute best for people in their family, and that’s about it.
Yup. I’ve worked in tech for nearly 20 years. Most people who work in tech don’t give a shit about the ethics of what they do or where they work if the money is good.
This is a screenshot from one of the discords of current and/or previous coworkers, but the sentiment is everywhere
Ex pal people are on slack, not discord. This is probably an investor server
Lol are you telling me that the people that I’ve worked with directly in small 5-10 person discord servers that we set up when I worked with them, are in fact investor imposters, and instead the actual coworkers are secretly using separate slack setups? Or do you just imagine that anecdotally how ever your coworkers have communicated is how all people communicate without exception?
Some random goon you met in a 5 person discord isn’t “astroturfing”
I mean if you read any Reddit that during the road to the recent USA elections, Biden should have won by an extremely large margin, and later , Kamala.
If we used Reddit threads of those months as reference, we’d currently been talking about how hard Kamala won
But she didn’t
So yeah, take whatever is on Reddit, and now Lemmy, with an asteroid sized pinch of salt
Not saying those comments were fake, they certainly represent someone, now, wheater that someone is a sizeable amount of voters…
As always, trust but verify. I was telling people here for months that Kamala hadn’t won yet and everybody needed to get out and spread the word on Project 2025.
We saw what happened, and we see a lot of opinions here on Lemmy. Trust but verify.
We saw a massive, concerted “don’t vote, bot sides are the same” effort in Lemmy. It was incredibly obvious and shocking that some people still deny it.
I’m surprised to see a comment on a post from so long ago but yes, it was an incredibly blatant display.
Palantir is the absolute scum of the information world. Tech with promise, but used in the worst kind of ways.
What kind of ways, can you explain?

I read them and there were some interesting parts scattered amidst poor journalism and FUD
Is your position basically just ACAB?
