Yeah, best not to socialize too much in that way. I used to work a contract government gig and would usually be the only person there at 5am to avoid traffic/get home early for kids and the only other person to come in pre-8am was an extremely religious person (well, and a janitor who believed in nephilim who had human decendants who walked along us— but he didn’t socialize, so much a listen to crazy shit while cleaning)
Anyway, you better believe I didn’t share my dark athiest humor and still got along fine somehow, maybe since I let out just enough edgyness to be interesting without being alienating. It’s indeed walking on eggshells, but so is having pro-trans views, anti-capitalist views, etc.; that’s what we have online circles on Lemmy for.
This joke isn’t to say that I don’t get along with my coworkers. Just that a joke about religion and prostitution being two of the oldest professional only surpassed by farming, didn’t go over well.
