For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

I clearly failed to make my point. This isn’t about Reddit. It’s about a company folding based on bullshit. A law has to go through Congress and be signed by the president before it becomes law. An executive order is not a law. And only elected person like mosque, saying something is not law.
If we let companies fold here about absolute nothing then it’s just the peak. Everything else fails after that.
Edit: Actually, no I didn’t fail to make my point you’re just ignoring it. I said multiple times is not about Reddit.
I didn't ignore your point, I countered it. The only way to make a company that's driven by money to listen to you is to hurt their floating line.
Reddit (and most if not all big techs) is only worried about one opinion: the conservative opinion. And since we are complaining about them folding to nazis, do you think they will listen? But sure, write an email, spam them with email about how being a nazi is bad.
Subs are banning links from xitter and what's doing reddit? Closing subs because poor elmo got his ego hurt. I'm sure a strong worded email will make them listen.
reddit has always had a policy to mute or ban subs that break certain rules and the moderators don’t moderate… reddit site-wide rules such as doxxing or calls the violence.
i’d argue it’s not doxxing as they’re doing things only public figures should be doing… but comments about shooting them in the head has always been a no-go on reddit….
when the sub was called out publicly, i reckon a lot of magats went on and hit the report button.
….
it’s not really a big deal… the big deal is them accessing the u.s. treasury computers and ALREADY modifying a “significant” amount of code.
btw, anyone who programs can tell that means they’re either extremely reckless, or they had previous access to the system and source code.
they couldn’t even read that much code over a weekend, let alone understand it enough to modify it significantly….
this very detail is the smoking gun, actually…
