Stop posting Musk's fucking face. This isn't tech

I'm so tired of seeing mean gross old white men scowling all over my damn feed any time anyone shares an article.

[–] Mojojojo1993 16 points 1 year ago

Pretty sick of them wrecking the world, some of us will get stuck with clean/ survival because of them.

Would it be fine if they were mean gross old black men? Or mean gross young white men?

[–] asteriskeverything 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I couldn't say because it never really happens enough to make me sick of seeing them being such shitty people it regularly makes headlines.

I'm assuming you aren't familiar with Clarence Thomas?

[–] asteriskeverything 1 points 1 year ago

I am. I didn't say it doesn't happen just not enough to make me sick of seeing his face. Is this a test or something am I being tested for reverse racism or something because I mentioned white men??

THIS oh gawwwd, couldn't agree more. Tired of reading news about this guy talking unintelligent crap. Dear people, for him even negative publicity is still publicity and for us it is a waste of our attention, 1 cent of which he doesn't deserve.

Media's fault for covering him and the cheeto every five seconds

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

You're not wrong but it's also the people's fault as well for engaging so much with this bullshit. I swear 90% of the internet exists simply to circle jerk about things people hate while the remaining 10% actually talks about things they like. I'll never understand why people choose to talk so much about the things they hate, just fucking downvote and move on to something you actually like.

All publicity is good for these pieces of shit, stop feeding into the rage cycle and they wouldn't be covered so much. Or they'd have to pay more for their coverage at the very least.

Twitter saboteur wanting to move onto sabotaging Wikipedia, the biggest reference source in the world that's only accessible via the internet, on his crusade against truth and facts? Of course it's tech news.

[–] assassin_aragorn 7 points 1 year ago

I mean the post has convinced me to donate to Wikipedia. It's newsworthy. I hate Musk as much as you, but I can't just stick my head in the dirt.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to unplug from it, but don't begrudge others for not wanting to.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

He runs a social media platform of influence. It's tech.

Don't like it? Hide the post and move on.
