While not strictly required, a CV with relevant work and volunteer history will help during the application process.

Lmao do they want a cover letter and references too?

admin position, aka they probably have access to a lot more private info and are likely to be able to take the site down if they were malicious. But of course, treating it as corpo shit rather than establishing community trust over a long period of time seems… a bit silly

Even reddit understood this in its early years. They were gung ho about being pro-community and had some genuinely good staff back then who consistently communicated openly with that community. They had an open source development community and all sorts of shit. This was all built on contribution and trust. If they wanted someone, they didn’t do applications they reached out to people personally that they already knew would be good for the roles.

They are trying to mimick reddit today rather than reddit during its early life when it was doing all the right things you needed to do with the early adopter audience.

I didn’t know they had a foundation. Turns out they’re even renting a unit (probably just a mailbox) in a nice, modern office complex. Somehow, it nevertheless reminds me of those photos of the Something Awful offices…

If you search up “Zinkstraat 24, 4823AD Breda” its dozens of companies listing lots of different 4+ digit unit numbers at that address. So definitely just a mailbox for their legal registration

What’s the app called? I had a search around and couldn’t find it and I want to reverse it for entertainment purposes. Or do you just mean how they seem to be the default instance for a bunch of apps?

Are they planning on monetising it or something? That google or whatever will offer them a billion dollars for their sub-par reddit clone instance?
