    Does anyone else not talk about that stuff on work accounts? They’re just used for work and I assume my boss and his boss and their bosses will all read everything.

      I’ve never worked with someone that effectively reads anything other than the title or maybe the first sentance, but I would also not use work software or accounts for anything I wouldn’t want printed on 20ft billboards with my name attached. That’s about the least secure place to do anything.

    to think, those fucking idiots thought they could bring down the US by flying planes into the twin towers when all they needed to do was wait for Republicans to get enough power.

    First they came for the T’s

    And I did not speak out

    Because I was not a T

    Then they came for the LGB’s

    And I did not speak out

    Because I was not a LGB

    Then they came for the immigrants

    And I did not speak out

    Because I was not an immigrant

    And then they came for the non-Christians

    And I did not speak out

    Because I was not a non-Christian

    And then they came for me

    And there was no one left

    To speak out for me

    Sounds like they specifically targeted the gay and trans groups, which is infuriating but can’t possibly be surprising. They’ll be coming for any group that had their own chat rooms – minorities, Muslims, whatever.

    This is America now.

    This is an excuse and nothing more to consolidate power, remove oversight, and sabotage the American intelligence apparatus on behalf of Russia.

    “Someone might want to let Chris Rufo know that many of the best coders, hackers, and cryptographers are LGBTQ. The neurodivergent talent required for these skills often comes with divergence from the mean in other areas.”

    Hrm. While I’m very sympathetic to their plight here I also hate this “Big Bang Theory” stereotype of people who work in technical fields.

    I’m going to hazard a guess that if they had been hating on trans people and culture, or promoting conservative values, in that work chat tool then they would still have jobs.

    We have a vibrant and sometimes political teams chat at my work, we would be toast if we were taken over by the magas. Yes we know it’s not private and do have also a group text. But haven’t ever worried since the whole organization is laid back regarding language and expression.

    If I worked for the government? Hell no. No teams chat, not even “how was your weekend?” Nope nope nope.

    I worked for my state briefly and they beat us over the head that anything we said in email or teams was archived and subject to FOIA requests. Shouldn’t be hard to find out what these folks were actually saying for any press agency with the balls to go looking for it.

    Oooooph. These people are fools for using a work app to talk about that crap.

      Sounds like it was an app like slack or teams where you talk to your colleagues. That doesn’t seem like a weird thing to me if you are friends with someone at work you discuss your life with them.

        I had a teams app at my previous gig and I was very close with the people in that app, but if it wasn’t work related, that conversation happened over iMessage, not in teams where the company had access
