I’m not denying it doesn’t happen, but to assume all people who wear mascot costumes, or are furries, smoke crack and fuck all day in costume is a massive fallacy.

wikipedia editors

minecraft

Their drama is much more mean spirited, as well.

To be a wikipedia editor, you have to larp an internet lawyer without getting paid, so I would say they are much worse. At least reddit mods can get paid to shill shit.

Wikipedia editors, or rather power-users, are basically power-tripping beaurocrats who memorized all the bylaws of Wikipedia editing to they can win every argument and always get their way. So basically the shittiest type of need on the planet.

now i havent applied to a firefighter job since highschool when i didnt actually want to be one, but i think they get paid.

Based.

Those volunteer firefighter crews are just drinking clubs

Ones here opened a brewery

Depends on the municipality. Lots of communities have voulenteers.

They get paid if you consider sloppy drunk foids in cowgirl boots a currency.

I mean... I am Texan so that sounds pretty nice. Will they be wearing a sundress too?

tfw no sloppy drunk blonde cowgirl in boots and a sundress. Fuck, what am I doing with my life?

You can either go find one or become one. You have options.

Whatever I do, I can never become a texan

You link to something that says they get paid. Do people not understand that they're only volunteers because they aren't conscripted? We have a volunteer military, they still get paid.

N.. No it doesn't.

Feel free to correct me by both showing some evidence that actually says they don't get paid and somehow showing how i'm wrong on the definition of conscription.

The Wikipedia article in its opening summary points out the distinction between career firefighters, on call firefighters and volunteer firefighters.

So, am I a volunteer employee at my company, because even though I am paid a salary, nonody forced me to do it?

Just in case you don't realize how silly you are, here are some boomers talking about volunteering for the fire department.

You aren't a compulsory employee, you might even notice where they call firefighters who are under compulsory service conscripts.

There's even laws that govern how much they get paid (page 8 covers payment). They don't get the same pay as a full time firefighter, but they still get paid.

Lol Europe

Tbf, it's 5 bucks an hour to sit around and do nothing for 95% of the time.

There are volly firefighters that get paid like shit, if they get paid.

But, they're usually seeking a paid job at a bigger department, or seeking glory.

Some are, some aren't, depends on the municipality. Learn to read.

In the United States, the Department of Labor classifies volunteer firefighters as firefighters that receive no compensation or nominal fees up to 20% of the compensation a full-time firefighter would receive in the same capacity.

Literally pasted from that article.

DOL-defined volunteer firefighters may be paid nominal fees on a per call basis, per shift basis, or various service requirements, but may not be compensated based on productivity such as with an hourly wage.

am volunteer firefighter, get "paid" but it's either $150 or $250 /month depending how many shifts I take. so you don't do it for the money but it is nice to get a few bar tabs covered

And there are private firefighter companies too

top wiki editors get paid.... as well as they have dedicated ones....

Literal retards

Volunteer firefighter here. Communism is the definition of failure.

Redistribute some of that gussy for the rest of us, firefighter.

Top Wiki editors get paid

Minecraft?

Open source programmers usually also get aid by donations

Volunteer firefighters are for retired people who don’t have have anything else to do

Steve Huffman: Compensation, well... A few steps down the road what I would like to do is when I say empower communities, I think there’s an extreme version of that, which is where we bring economics into this. Allowing communities to have business models. And hopefully you can use your imagination there, but I think there’s a lot they can do and that would open the door to communities having money and potentially moderators having a share of that. So I think we’re pretty far off, but that’s one of my, kind of, fantasies, that we can elevate communities to such a degree that people can actually run a business or earn a living on Reddit.

Excuse me, but I am an aficionado of the cyberpunk genre so I think I know a thing or two about open source software. It's all written by 20-year old anarchist girls who just do it for fun in between going to raves. Soulless corporate squares in their cubicles talk about "unit testing" and how "we have to make absolutely sure we don't bill the customer twice" and bullshit like that. They'll never have the creative spark that's necessary to truly be l33t.

Wait, there is a place where people don't talk about unit testing all the fucking time? Send me to the place I don't have to write unit test for pass through DB calls for coverage numbers fam, send me there right now.

I mean in a world of 7 billion, there will people who do things for free. The problem is whether there will be a sufficient distribution.

It isn’t even about doing things for “free,” it’s about primarily being motivated by profit.

Out of the 4 examples given, three of them are heavily influenced by autism.

Not a good look, honestly.

Was gonna make the same point. Those three all have significant community watch threads on Kiwi Farms.

You don't think starting fires has anything to do with Autism?

Not fighting fire.

Ootl, are they actually that delusional?

[removed]

Chapos ignore the best example, which is our home grown jannies right here on reddit

I actually got an internship in a tech job and the people there literally are just complete fascists. One guy wore a “don’t tread on me” shirt and they’ve had plenty of takes on trans people.

you forgot the biggest one they delude themselves with

Are they seriously implying that building in Minecraft is at all productive or beneficial to society?

Doing something for free doesn't count if it's purely for pleasure and doesn't have a measurable benefit to society. That's just called a fucking hobby.

Of course they'll say Wikipedia editors are productive.
