<< digital serfs.
There is a difference. 'No-rights' people were corralled and restrained, by force when necessary. Where is the violence today? At best, there is a threat that you will lose your job ( it is not insignificant, but it is not your life ). Can reddit put you in acid mines? No. Can they fire you? Well, the mods there are volunteers. Their status indicates how quickly they could pick up and their toys and move. There is only one thing that makes them digital serfs. Inertia.
( yes, I am aware how difficult it is to have a website these days that scales, but the only thing that is really stopping people from doing things is that doing things is hard; it is easier to do what you did yesterday )

- olddustytrail 3y agoI'm pretty sure there's no such thing as an "acid mine"?
- A4ET8a8uTh0 3y agoMy secondary joke reference is asbestos factory ( also technically not existing, but the concept is the same -- highly dangerous environment ). Obviously, I exaggerated a little bit.
- bee_rider 3y agoBased on their other comment they are just using it as an exaggeration. But it did make me interested enough to look it up. Apparently there are some inorganic solid acids, they look to mostly be oxides, I have no idea if they exist in high enough concentrations to be mined. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_acid https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_acid
