I have a MSc in Computational Media. I've had to read a lot of research on the dangers of social media, how harmful ideas spread online, and how people form unhealthy relationships with platforms. LW is still federated with LML, and I think my instance is still federated with Hexbear. So no, people don't give a quarter of a fuck what I have to say.

Im no expert but after 15 years in mail and parcel logistics I know shit. Ive been told Im "too close to the issue" to be objective. I even posted links to business services for a major international carrier to back up what I said and apparently any evidence I provide is "Biased"
So the only people you can turn to for factual answers are people with no fucking idea apparently.
Only people I deal with daily at work, everyone else no. I am constantly getting second-guessed, made to make changes, and not listened to by the middlemen between me and the actual users.
Then of course it becomes a disaster that I have to fix.
I just get ignored at work. Then something gets called out by a customer and it's a fucking issue.
Sounds like your doing development work in a “agile/scrum” team, correct?
Sometimes people do but it mostly happens when it is a topic that they've tethered to their identity.
That's totally fair.
I taught a seminar in the nature of identity last month. Great fun.
I've worked in a bunch of environments and the most common thing I encounter are people stuck in the old way of doing things. Such as using WINS because they firmly believe if nothing bad has happened since they set it up, nothing could happen.
As someone actually trained to perform genetic therapy, it was incredible how many people wanted to correct me about my safety concerns regarding the covid shot.
I'm impressed by your bravery in telling people that one, given the variety and origins of the "facts" on that topic! 😲
