What the hell even is this?
It’s almost like the person who wrote that text in the photo didn’t actually understand what any of the words they were saying meant. Like actually. lol
I’ve been told that musk didn’t come up with that quote himself. I didn’t look further into it, but it’s likely that the person who originally wrote it understood what they were talking about, and musk just thought it sounded cool. Hell, I think it sounds cool, might use it in a villainous monologue or some shit.
I totally agree. What a load of bullshit.
People should be leaving Reddit. They are poor stewards of our content for innumerable reasons. Go back to forums. Go to Lemmy. The key thing is that we should not have centralized arbiters of our discussions online.
Left reddit… left Google… left Amazon… left meta… never had Twitter.
I am still on some meta services because my family is there. But I only post stuff relevant to those people. Everything else is fediverse and bluesky
tried to make an FB acct for somehting else, and they apparently autoban people for a “email-temp”
Indeed. I deleted my reddit account recently. I like it better here anyways. The pace is slower and the people seem more reasonable here too. My stress levels have decreased significantly since I left Meta and Reddit and that is at once wonderful and scary. Social media is a cancer.
I think there will be a mass exodus from reddit in the coming years. The site is compromised and the censorship is out of control.
not all at once, but a gradual decline in non-botted, troll accounts. since reddits mostly bots anyways,. as long as politics, and news subs getting much traffic people will be addicted to the site.
Deleted reddit today, just starting to figure out Lemmy. Could not stand the hive mind anymore
I just joined recently and was lurking until I saw your comment. Figured I’d join in :)
Aye welcome to Lemmy! :) Happy to see you here
I have had a much better time on Lemmy, but I’m kind of the target audience in a few ways, so I’m biased. But I do think less harmful, more productive discussion is more likely to happen on this platform, I feel more comfortable discussing and less likely to be called slurs or called out (rather than called in which is undeniably more effective, and coincidentally feels much more common on Lemmy), and I feel like I’ve actually found folks I could see myself working with in some capacity, such as a project to help others patch up their data vulnerabilities, for a simplified example of an idea I’m considering.
Welcome btw :)

Their rando-bans and content and word restrictions are fundamental flaws with the platform.
thier extremely sensitive banning parameters are absurd, cross-banning for posting in a sub that they dont like, reporting other people gets you banned,
We can’t let billionaires own the town hall if we plan on having honest conversations. I am glad I finally found this place, and wish I would have left reddit earlier.
Yeah i don’t post anymore since reddit turned into 1984
where have you been for the last decade?
It was regime controlled garbage for a long time, now they suddenly complain.

got in trouble for ‘liquidated’. Secret word list code for violence. Filters used to be useful and just replace the offending text.
Welcome to the world of bot moderation without any human to put it into context.
Is it just me or are other people giving fewer and fewer fucks about why somebody got banned on reddit, or anything else that happens on reddit?
I’m loathe to defend Reddit’s moderation decision but my experience you can never trust the person being banned to explain why they were banned.
I agree - except for the time I got banned…
but my experience you can never trust the person being banned to explain why they were banned.
It almost doesn’t matter though because we know rando-bans are a common thing on reddit. Just because some are getting legit bans does not mean that there are not many others getting rando-bans.
Apart from all the other bullshit rightfully called out below, this makes an illogical implication. Being the smart autistic superbrain Melon claims to be, it’s surprising he doesn’t see that. Or maybe not, because in reality he’s just a sad ass who is too scared of just going to therapy.
If: Not being capable of violence => Not being able to call yourself peaceful
Then: Being able to call yourself peaceful => Being capable of violence
But not: Being capable of violence => Being able to call yourself peaceful
when did Lemmy become the “I got banned from reddit” frontpage?
ffs people, STOP GOING THERE. Stop thinking about it. It’s a shithole url. Get over it.
This sub, the one you are currently participating in by commenting on it, is titled “Reddit”…
yeah, and I’ll block it, but you do realize, people who aren’t subscribed still see trending on the front page right?
and I stick to my premise: you’re here, leave that shit behind. have better standards. encourage those other communities to migrate over if you must but dwelling on spez’s folly is just… bleh. no one should waste their time on it.
I really don’t understand your issue here. So should people not post their experiences and thoughts on social media?
It’s a dedicated community for it, it’s in the exact place it’s supposed to be in. I don’t see the point in restricting yourself because you don’t want it to be on the front page or what not
Besides, it’s still important to discuss the decline of a major user platform like reddit, especially since most of us here have personal experience with it, and likely have friends that use it
I’ll be a bit pedantic and say that this is a community not a subreddit, since we’re, y’know, not on reddit.
Oh I thought “sub” was like universal terminology like “sub-forum” or something. So to clarify “sub” here is “community”?
Yes.
Are you talking about this magazine?
Kbin calls it that yes
Does kbin even exist anymore?
It’s fine to still call it a sub. Everyone know what you mean. If anyone else really feels the need to be pedantic, it’s just not a “sub-reddit,” but you still “sub-scribe” to it, so…
Indeed, and the distraction from the point that someone was complaining about having to read about Reddit in a Reddit community was not worth the tangent.
This is the same kind of thing the 19 year old high school dropout with two kids he doesn’t have custody of posts on Facebook. Like “the devil whispered in my ear you can’t handle the storm and i said i am storm”
“No, John. You are the demons.”
He is the size of a hurricane tbf
Hey, that’s unfair on the hurricanes. Some hurricanes are small and don’t cause damage at all.
I’m a fat boy at 5-11/230lb but I’m construction fat. That guy looks like a trash bag full of mashed potatoes.
Honestly the worst thing about this is that he has the confidence to be as big of a douche as he is looking like this…
Most people need to be supermodels to be as intensely unattractive in literally every other way as he is…
But then he’s not appealing to the general population, he’s appealing to… well not regular human people…
I have not seen anything from him that has ever exuded confidence. Dont confuse confidence with other shit like having a loud mouth or whatever
I would like to never see this image again.
"WHITE WHALE!
HOLY GRAIL!"
Something something harpoons? Idk, I haven’t read Moby Dick.
Give it a try. Still an exciting read after all this time.
That’s exactly who he is trying to appeal to.
Is there a ThePack community or magazine around here? lol
There is indeed, [email protected].
https://lemmy.world/c/the_pack
Not much there so get in there and CRANK YER HOG!
CRANKIN MUH HAWG!
HAWG = CRANK’D
We should tie voting rights to child support payments. Would have stopped 45 from gaining office.
Exactly the kind of guy who detonates his rented Cybertruck at the Trump Vegas Hotel because he’s mad at the Woke
God, what an insufferable Nazi cunt.
Do you have a legit reason to “liquidate” his assets?
Really? Fuck that shit. Good thing I deleted my reddit account. I technically have one that I just use for porn. But I sure as hell am not posting anything with that shit.
This feeds into the right-wing fantasy that they’re super tough warriors. You see a lot of literature and fictional TV aimed in this direction.
It’s kind of like the white savior complex but instead of saving some victimized minority, they’re saving weaker and more helpless individuals in their own society. But all the military hero returns home and confronts nasty biker gang or evil drug dealers and kicks their ass without when trying. It all reinforced their world view.
What do you mean by Elon Musk’s assets should be liquidated?
Also, Reddit and X have very different moderating policies.
The faster everyone deletes their Reddit, the better we will be. Fuck Reddit.
I only have one account for porn right now. Made with a temporary email. I won’t shed any tears if i had to delete that one.
There’s plenty here lol. No excuse! lol, jk
