    Damn that’s a conspiracy theory I’ll believe.

    Also, I know for a fact they look you up on social media. I wonder if I keep getting rejected because I’m not active on any of that Facebook crap.

      I’m lucky enough to have a name that’s hard to lookup and also lucky enough that no one has pressed the issue to give them links.

      Yeah I’m probably suffering a little because I don’t have any real social media, and my GitHub is all private contributions for work. I should probably do some free work to show off there but I resent that

        I did free work on GitHub once. I made a porn mod for a video game and released the code on github under an alt account.

        Sometimes I seriously think about whether I should tell employers:

        “Have you contributed to any open source projects?”

        “A little bit of Piefed stuff, but mostly gooning.”

      I worry whether I should create a Facebook account just in case I need it for this reason… but then I remember that I’m not that desperate! (Though I will not judge anyone else who is.)
