TeamBlind / Blind - Anonymous, Reddit-like forum for tech workers to discuss whatever is on their mind

[Relinquish]

​

I've been wondering what's your guys's opinion on Blind, an anonymous Reddit-like forum for tech workers. I think that's really useful for knowing about the current layoffs and what's happening in the tech industry. It's also quite funny sometimes

It's not that anonymous, since you have to use a work email to sign up - at least if you want to look at the posts for your employer. Someone can find out who you are.

There is some gold there, like this response to a question about why dating apps in the SF bay area had so many women in their mid-late 30s:

Reddit-like forum

Haven't been on in a while, but I remember it being a weird mix of Reddit-tier shitlibbery, including the bugmen trying to talk their way around obvious Urban decay & crime, and then actually based commentary, with a sprinkling of women trying to talk about the ick of Pajeet harassment.

I don't know if their censorship just hadn't matured to BigTech levels yet, or if they recognized that to be of any value they had to allow some level of real discussion, but it was refreshing to see people discussing city crime, outsourcing, or other degeneracy in straightforward terms (even though there were plenty of shitlibs trying to shout them down).

Blind is 90% top caste pajeeets hiring each other, giving each other interview questions, and complaining about how America sucks and is racist. So every conversation is exactly what you'd hear about in glorious Indian society: how do I one day drive a BMW, Mercedes, or now Tesla, how do I make more money, why can't I date white women.

Hm fair enough, I guess I avoided most of the H1B-centric ones (although I do remember them being half the comments on other threads), but was surprised to see frank discussion of BigTech cities being shitholes, Prog prosecutors letting BLMs run wild, omnipresent duhbersity being a drag on everyone productive, and guys saying they were just stacking as much cash as possible to get out of their cities.

It was by no means the majority, but much more than you see on pReddit, Faceberg, etc. Maybe that's changed in the last year or so though.

I have no idea why this woman thinks its such an achievement to have 'success' dating as a woman with how much of a sausagefest the bay area is stacked on top of how much of a sausagefest dating apps are stacked on top of how men do the pursuing. Theres a reason why women don't brag about their body count.

Also why are you bragging about how much money you make? You do realize the rich obnoxious techbro is a negative stereotype right? And most normal people make fun of men when they act like this. Its even more bizarre when a woman does it since 99.9% of the reason men do it is to impress chicks and men don't give a shit about what a woman makes next to how hot they are.

#GirlBossing always seems to mean portraying every Stronk Female character as having all the most obnoxious characteristics of men, then demanding praise for it (while simultaneously declaring masculinity "toxic"). Then they wonder why the media is unappealing and the women who act like that are as miserable as the men stuck dealing with them?

For some reason it's considered "etiquette" on Blind to post your total comp when you post, even if your post has nothing to do with pay.

This site has to be mostly trolls. That post from a ‘35 year old woman’ is totally from a real woman.
