I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you. I'd never imagine that nice Mr. Musk would do that... Oh? He's been a total ass to workers at his other companies too you say? No, say it isn't so...

labor disputes are not technology

Yeah, I was hoping that this community wouldn't become a Musk news feed like it was on Reddit, but here we are.

It would be nice if a technology community could actually be about technology.

Lemmy is pretty much just an Elon feed and it’s annoying AF. I get it, Elon is a shit human. I personally don’t want to promote shit humans, even if it’s to talk shit about them. Let X die

lol man all these downvoters. cant yall just make c/xitter or c/SuckItMusk and post your hateboners there?

[–] vidarh@lemmy.stad.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Or, you know, seeing as you guys are the ones being downvoted into the negative, you could take your own advice and start your own Elon-free tech community. Nothing is stopping you.

the popular answer does not equal the right answer. this is called c/technology. before you spin that elon is in tech so how he picks his nose matters, it doesnt.

[–] vidarh@lemmy.stad.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How he picks his nose doesn't matter. How he runs a tech company and how he affects people working in tech does.

And the popular answer does equal the right answer when the question is "does this community think this question is relevant to this community?" The votes are literally this community telling you whether or not it thinks that is true.

No, the antics of a tech company owner are not relevant to a technology sub.

Musk is a shitty person. This is not news. We don't need a running ticker on what bullshit he's done now.

All you're doing is giving a narcissistic bully exactly what he wants - attention.

The votes prove you wrong, no matter what your opinion on it is. You're free to disagree, but the notion that the people who make up this community are not the arbiters of what is and is not relevant to a community flies directly in the face of the very foundation Lemmy is built on.

People voted Trump into office, so I don't put a lot of stock in people's votes.

[–] drdabbles@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Hmm. You don't know much about US elections, I see.

[–] Outtatime@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

It is on Lemmy, where it has become an Elon bad platform, just like reddit.

[–] Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The major thing I miss from reddit is the RES feature where you could block posts via keywords.

Elon

Musk

Trump

Tesla

With these four words you feed was so, so much better.

I think I can do that on the voyage app, but I shouldn't have to. The mods need to do their jobs and remove content that's not about technology.

[–] Uniquitous@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

He is legitimately bad, though.

[–] lemme_at_it@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Elon does what he chooses to do. We choose if we want to lend credence to what he chooses to do.

It's pretty boring
