Over the past year, Meta has hired dozens of Twitter employees
LOL, you mean all those employees you unceremoniously fired?
I’m sure twatter would have a no compete clause if they could. Maybe they can?
IANAL, but from what I understand, you can put anything you want in a contract, but it doesn’t mean it’s enforceable.
So the reason why companies put in non-compete clauses is mostly because people believe it, not because it’s really enforceable.
Now if former twitter employees were still getting severance from Twitter while working at Meta, that could be an issue. But generally speaking, if you’re not getting money (consideration) non-compete clauses don’t matter much.
Most severance is paid in a lump sum.
And if they laid you off or fired you, there’s no way they can enforce a no compete clause.
In most regions, you’re right: you can put a noncompete in a contract, but enforcing it is another matter.
But noncompete clauses are explicitly illegal in California, where Twitter is based.
Noncompetes are basically unenforceable in California, you can make people sign them but they’re about as useful as if they were made out of toilet paper
But wouldn’t they be more useful, when made out of toilet paper?
I think that it is also different if you get fired. Don’t know in detail, but I assume that if they fire you without a valid cause they don’t have any grounds to complain that you did a sensitive and unique work.

Can we add lions?
Imagine if the future of Threads was, uh, hanging by a thread during the upcoming Suck vs Elmo cage match
let them fight
Lemmy is the coziest place in the internet right now, it’s great
probably not going to happen but i will prepare some popcorn just in case
I don’t think it’s your competitors that are the problem, Twitter.
Yea, well Disney should sue X-Corp on IP infringement. X-Corp was tied to the X-Men and mutants until Musk decided he would steal that.
Isnt threads just lemmyverse code?
Figure it out in the ring
I’m very much looking forward to that fight. Whichever way it goes, we’re going to see one of earth’s biggest douchebags get beat up.
Yes. Exactly. I’m here for it.
Bring back Celebrity Death Match, please!
Musk’s a wallfacer
I won’t lie, I misread that as wallfucker
That is an amazing insult.
Woah crazyyyy, free speech absolutist capitalist seems to hate competition. I wonder why!
We’re treating Meta as a threat to our community too.
Those things don’t sound mutually exclusive
You don’t see the conflict?
Here it’s a case of hypocrisy, as it’s a conflict between berating someone else for some behavior, and engaging in it ourselves.
You’re making a false equivalence. Musk is scared about losing more of his money. People here seemingly don’t like Meta and don’t want it to infest lemmy. Those aren’t even close to being the same.
Or, Musk’s actions could be in line with protecting free speech. I mean, that’s the fear we have of Meta here: that it will destroy this space and silence voices.
So if (a) Musk claims he’s protecting free speech, and then (b) takes actions consistent with that view, then there’s no opening to make an argument of the form “Must claims X but does Y”, when Y could be interpreted as a manifestation of goal X.

Yeah I don’t think he has a case either. I’m talking about the perceived motivations when his actions are consistent with his stated motivations (for running twitter, the ones mentioned in the comment thread I responded to), as evidenced by our own shared pairing of stated motivations and actions.
Musk, who has regularly demonstrated he is not a ‘free speech absolutist’, is protecting free speech? K
Well what I said was:
- Musk claimed to be working to protect free speech
- Musk’s actions are consistent with that goal
- If fighting Meta isn’t consistent with that goal, then why are we fighting Meta?
While I personally don’t, the difference between this and that is that most people here, together as a community, have decided, again together, that they don’t want to federate with Meta apps because of a long history of privacy and other abuses.
That’s not the same thing as another billionaire pissed off because they are doing exactly what capitalism is “supposed to do”
Do better or die is the whole philosophy no?
The whole philosophy of capitalism is “Economic interaction must be voluntary to be valid.
Oh boy, everyone should tell those Indian slaves in Dubai. They can’t hold you prisoner guys, it’s not valid if it’s not voluntary, so you can just go home. The capitalists say it’s okay…wait, what? Oh! it was the capitalists who put them there.
Nope sorry. Capitalism is defined by voluntary cooperation. Slavery’s not capitalism.
You should tell capitalists, it seems like they didn’t get the memo.
An innocent person who commits a crime is no longer an innocent person.
A vegetarian who starts eating meat is no longer a vegetarian.
A capitalist who enslaves someone is no longer a capitalist.
I’m so sorry you have trouble with this basic definition, but capitalism is a free market system. Slaves are not free, and that economic relationship is not a free market relationship.
You got a source on this definition? Because it sure sounds like bullshit
From wikipedia:
Capitalism is an economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and their operation for profit.[1][2][3][4] Central characteristics of capitalism include capital accumulation, competitive markets, price systems, private property, property rights recognition, voluntary exchange, and wage labor.
Something something free market something something capitalism
These two need to just fuck and get it over with already
Tshh as if Zuckerbot has a standard plug or socket for human style relations.
Zuckerbot is topologically identical to a human thank you very much. Zuckerbot even has a coelom in the appropriate segment, just as any normal human person.
Just find any plug somewhere and jack in
He probably has but Elon only uses the Tesla standard plug.
There is a plug. It’s in the butt.
It can be one of those erotic wrestling matches. Start off fighting, end up fucking. 2-for-1 PPV special to end all PPV specials.
Have you heard of SexFighting
God dammit I came in here just to say that. I’m going to say the same thing about Marge Greene and Lauren Boebert but you probably already did that too ya jerk
Where is my cage fight?
