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.

In this scenario, there is no comparable restaurant, unfortunately
I had to double-check that I was still on Lemmy.
Unpopular opinion (at least in the Fediverse): while mastodon exists and is nice (if a little harder to grasp), Threads actually has a sufficient user base to be considered a substitute for Xitter. I was watching it during the debates and there was lively enough conversation to be interesting and still unable to read every comment that tagged the debate in real time.
Down with centralized social media and all that, but just a suggestion if you miss the volume of posts and the centralized interface that Xitter dumps out.
Still won't stop the others from going and keeping the restaurant afloat. I ditched my account (even though i rarely used it) right around the time it was changing hands. So now I don't use it but there's little i can do to convince millions of people who either don't care or actually admire twats like Leon. There's a lot of people out there not giving 2 shits about any of this stuff, or just can't be bothered to change their habits even slightly.
I don't see Twitter going anywhere, it's a new more-mainstream parler i guess? Conservatives need a public space that's more visible and now they have it. They want to be public about their shittiness, they're tired of hiding their racism/misogyny/homophobia/etc
"My local restaurant is awful but unfortunately if I don't keep going there I'll starve"
Drag would like to introduce you to a wonderful website called Mastodon. https://mastodon.social
Drag respects the fact that Mastodon exists, but drag also doesn't use it because the Twitter format is very boring. Drag tried using Twitter before Musk bought it, and it was no fun at all. Drag was just screaming into the void.
