I wonder if there is such a thing as a "politics free" job listing site?

`unwoke.hr` was one attempt, but I think it was even more poorly-engineered than Parler and was immediately trolled into oblivion.

  Yeah, naturally it will need to be more positively marketed rather than defining itself as basically "anti-" something. For example maybe they should highlight the "focus" angle ie both DHH/Coinbase indicated that a big part of the reasoning was to remove distractions. Who knows the fact of the matter, but it seems like a reasonable razor (spending finite resources in one area means they're not available for another area)

Do you actually mean “politics free”, or do you mean “progressive politics free”? Because unless the website is made absolutely perfectly with exactly the right intentions, it will become parler or gab for jobs. Who are the people that care so much that they’ll choose a job based on it? Probably 80% hardline conservatives, 10% aggressively apolitical people and 10% unwoke left types like me But even if the other 20% might theoretically use a site like that, the 80% hardline conservatives would be deeply off-putting. It’s why I’d never use Gab or Parler. Yeah the free speech idea is nice, but when it comes down to it, mostly, who are getting banned from Twitter and Facebook? The really abrasive and rude right-wing people Who feels ostracised in their job? I’d say generally it’s the hardcore right-wing people who lean towards being poor communicators

  > Who feels ostracised in their job? I’d say generally it’s the hardcore right-wing people who lean towards being poor communicators I feel ostracized in my job. Of course, no one actually knows I'm right-wing at work, so they'll openly trash talk straw-man caricatures of my beliefs in front of me, which leads to further self-ostracism. I think that's the big lie of the progressive elite we have today: it pretends to be inclusive and preaches "bring your whole self to work," but in reality this is all just another status hierarchy to climb. But I likewise haven't been a fan of Parler and Gab. If I were to guess, one of the YouTube clones will succeed first before something like Parler or Gab.

    do you regard yourself as a good communicator?
