  • Doesn’t sound ideal.

    Moderated communities allow topics to stay on track and fit the theme of a community. It allows you to find different comms if you don’t agree with how one is being run.

    By reducing it to tags, you risk topics getting flooded with irrelevant things or bad takes, meanwhile OPs get to ensure no one in the comment can argue against whatever bad take they might make.

    Basically is makes the experience worse for every other user by cluttering feeds and promoting biased moderation.

    Yes that Bain Capital.

    Childcare in Australia is subsidised by the government, so the childcare centres raise fees and every few years the government raises the subsidy so parents can afford it. Once it’s affordable the centres raise fees again, it’s a vicious cycle.

    I read the meeting minutes from when they bought us out and it was all about how they struck gold with free government money. They didn’t give a shit about the children, just how much tax payer money they could take out of our country.

    Needless to say the quality of care went down and it wasn’t high to start with, injuries and incidents went up, and I quit to join somewhere better.



  • Daycare is a multibillion dollar industry. The previous company I worked at here in Australia was owned by big an American private investment firm (Bain Capital).

    My centres company owned about 70 centres under them, and their owners had many other childcare corporations they owned across the globe.

    I work for a not for profit now and while they run 76 centres, they actually care about the children.
