Facebook at Work

More and more, I push for more in-house and self-hosted services for things like this.

If I‘m using this as a regular workflow, I want to know that it won‘t go away one day.

Never has it been more apparent that morality doesn't come into the equation for Facebook.

Is there something glaringly immoral about this?

Uh... Is this an attack on Slack?

I have so many things to say about this but the last time I said anything anti-F B on H N I got lawyers against me.

Please god people don't use this.

Edit:

I'm going to qualify my sentiment.

FB thinks that "making the world more connected" is a good thing (TM) -- and in an utopian sense that may be true... But FB is not utopian.

See the fucking onion article. You all know the one.

The world doesn't need to be "more connected" --- it needs to be more conscious --- and very little work by many many startups are "making the world a better place"

The fact is that the world is still just as dark as always. Slavery is up, consumption begets inequality and the worlds economies are all about consumption.

How about creating an economy based on provisioning and providing. But because fuck you, that's why, is the philos of the day.

Zuck needs to read his letter to his daughter and then read that same letter to one who has zero relation or zero connection to FB. If the only person he is committed to making the world a better place for is his child through his tax shelter, then we will truly know the morality of FB.

Good fucking luck.

I don't really see the need for this, since the things you usually do on Facebook are not the same things you would do at a workplace community.
