Not a huge fan of cross posting. I’d rather not see the same exact image three times back to back in my subscribed feed from the pics, aww, & dogs communities of someone’s fur-baby. If Lemmy ever adds cross-posting there should also be a Detect Duplicates option.
Worked there a long time too. It was easy to find engineering projects to be on that had nothing to do with offensive weapons of death. Nuclear power, railroad automation, mail sorting, basic research, etc. Was always a hassle dealing with the culture there though. Lots of autocratic control freaks. Lots of managers who let their egos sabotage otherwise good efforts.
