They should join Mastodon to get away from Elon’s narcissism.
On the flip side, hopefully this news story pushes more people away from X
I can't imagine anyone being pushed by anything if they weren't pushed away until now
I think it's the usual "it hasn't impacted me personally, so how bad can it be" maintaining the status quo at all costs.
Once something happens that they care about, they'll be on the Fediverse that day crowing loudly about how awful Xitter has suddenly become...
Mastodon lacks full-text search, which kills the main reason that Twitter appealed to me, the real-time-updated full-text index.
Mastodon added text search a while ago.
Elon Musk doesn't have NPD. And accusing people of being disabled is not an epic burn. It's only an insult if you think disabled people are worth less than neurotypicals. Sensible people don't hate the disabled, so calling him a n*rcissist isn't an insult.
Calling him neurotypical is a bigger insult. Because it implies that all of his weirdness is a choice.
in case it was unclear: accusing someone of narcissism as a personality trait isn't the same as accusing them of a PD.
narcissism /när′sĭ-sĭz″əm/ noun
Excessive preoccupation with or admiration of oneself. synonym: conceit. Similar: conceit
A personality disorder characterized by self-preoccupation, need for admiration, lack of empathy, and unconscious deficits in self-esteem.
They said 'his narcissism' They made no diagnostic qualification.
Ie. Displaying narcissism and being a narcissist and having a narcissistic personality disorder are all different things with different definitions which can be applied in different ways.
You're allowed to say narcissist lol
Calling him a narcissist isn't really an insult either way. It's just a fact about him. The dude only cares about himself.
Sure. Ignoring him and not recognizing his unmatched greatness and suffering is much more insulting
narcissism and NPD are not the same thing
Non-clinical narcissism is asexuality, and Elon isn't asexual.
Weird statement
Why do people always say weird shit like this when they're defending Republicans?
I'm not defending Elon. I think he's a hetero neurotypical privileged asshole. It's you people who want to make up a narrative that he's a vulnerable minority.
No you’re the one, in multiple threads now, trying to equate narcissism with NPD so you can use victim philosophy to protect narcissism as such, under the rubric that people with personality disorders are minorities like black people.
The density of lies your mind produces is off the charts. Meditate more jesus christ
