I notice this especially with my Norwegian learning. People are rude, call me names, or make fun of me on Reddit for using the wrong word or “en” vs “et” or using a direct translation because I don’t know how they say it in Norwegian, like saying somethng like «Ingen av bedriften din!» instead of «Dette er ikke din sak» (according to the casual version of Bing Translate) whereas a Norwegian-speaking Fediverse member would just say something like “You’re doing good, but it’s actually _____.”

    Cultures/conventions are assumption-rivers, aka “religions”.

    Toxic-culture’s a habit, an ideology, a “religion”, a self-reinforcing-feedback-mechanism, & a kind of “food” for ones who want that particular substance.

    Once entrenched, it’s nearly-impossible to change a culture.

    Chaning a culture generally requires focus+action both at the top AND grass-roots.

    Without both, nothing’ll change, usually.

    ( without grassroots, nothing’ll change, no matter what the leader wants/does )

    & Reddit’s CEO has paid himself $1/8B IN A SINGLE YEAR, while Reddit wasn’t in profit, so DarkTriad’s their corporate-culture, fersure, in my opinion.
