We are all in this together, everybody has similar goals, why then Blind is so toxic? I understand that total anonymity allows not to care about feelings of others, but just because we can do something, doesm't mean we should. So how can we make this community better?
What makes Blind toxic? I mean everywhere you go there is occasional trolling
Trolling in good faith is fine. Ad hominem is not, and it's prevalent here.
Attacking others makes small people feel bigger.
The more folks join, the better sample we will get. Otherwise, Blind gives an impression that everyone is on a PIP and preparing to sue their managers :)
Lack of diversity. Same reason why s386 should be blocked
What’s s386? I fee folks mentioned here but we... I’m in Europe, hence unaware.
Simple. bill s386: remove 7% country caps (limits) on total EB green card granted every year Context Current green card waiting time: India - 20 years, China - 5 years, other countries - 0 Once s386 passes: All countries: 10 years. You are from Europe. If you decide to move to America one day, You will also be waiting for 10 years to receive green card
1) Anonymity brings out the true nature of the people who post on Blind. But they don’t represent the entire Blind community. If you ask Google Search engineers about the most searched terms on any given day, you’d be surprised at all the dark thoughts of the collective demographic of people who have access to Google Search. This is not isolated to Blind. 2) This is what freedom of speech looks like. It’s not pretty some times but the alternative is what you get with fake social media in countries governed by oppressive regimes where everyone is very civil online and have nothing to criticize about anything - “Everything is awesome!” 3) Using this app is at-will. The main advantage of Blind is to let the community peek underneath the covers of work life in other companies. It’s not intended to be an AA forum or echo chamber - there are already plenty of FB groups that satisfy that demand. If you don’t like a Blind post, you can just scroll pass the non-constructive comments and move on. None of those offensive comments can be verified. In fact, most are just unsubstantiated rants. Those words can only hurt you if you let them.
Nice post OP! My theory is that most people with money are toxic. And why are they toxic? Because these people are obsessed with money. And if you are obsessed with money, where would you go to discuss your obsessions? Anonymous forum for working professionals, supposedly with high TCs. ~— Blind. There ya go. I don’t think it can be fixed. I just use it way less than before and live a happy life :)
Whoever said "the meek shall inherit the Earth" was right. What he failed to mention was how evil the meek would become once they did inherit the Earth.
If that's true why do poor commit the most crimes? Actually whole internet is like that, Blind is not special.

Why people waste their time behind Israel Palestine issues?
By leaving it. No people, no toxicity.
It's not an option, at least during quarantine. It literally is the only way I talk to people, except work of course. Which is different.
It's the nerd locker room. The only way to not be bullied is to be the bully or leave the room.
