IBM, a major advertiser on X, has pulled its spending from the social media platform, whose employees are grappling with what to tell its other advertisers, according to internal messages.
To be clear: Musk endorsed a tweet which used a false antisemitic conspiracy theory to tell people why “Hitler was right”
At this point, is any racist shit from that dude even worth posting news about? Like i get that there should be consequences but i do not see any. All i see is info about a man i really do not want to read anything about. Daily. Not even only on here. Why does the internet have to be so god damn us-centric that i can not escape their crazy billionaires?
Especially in the “technology” forum :/
Also whats up with all the shaming and animosity towards people that have a hard time leaving a platform that they have grown accustomed with. I feel it is a bit ignorant to blame the users for the actions of of a rich maniac simply aquiring whatever he pleases.
Probably because most of us left Reddit and know exactly how easy that was to do.

I’m not being facetious or unkind here, but for many 10’s of thousands of years we have been developing meaningful social circles by seeing people in person. Just give it a go!

Urgh, i gotta say i too get the feeling that a lot of the animosity of reddit swept right over so i guess you are not wrong. Not my kind of beer.
Its not hard to delete an app and not download it again
It was brought to my attention lemmy has no native Mute support and not all apps have Mute. Its something they should support as a compromise for users who don’t want to leave, or otherwise, choose not to ignore topics.
I have no problem with No Fuck Monkey getting posted here. He is the richest technologist on Earth. X/Twitter is still a thing. SpaceX is a thing. That’s technology.
Never used the app.
Even easier then, you don’t even have an app to delete, you can just stop visiting a website.
Sure buddy. Hope you are vegan or i am superior anyways.
Great, if you were able to make that kind of dietary and lifestyle change then I’m sure not using a website would be no problem for you.
Removing a bookmark is easier to remove than an app
Yup, it’s still worth posting. Always call out bad behavior. Silence is acceptance.
Yes, as long as there are people who think he’s cool. Or think he’s not a total piece of shit.
He’s just about whittled his support down to the sort of people that cheer on that sort of shit, just like Trump
Once you get to that point News like this actually does help him. The people who care already know and so this just builds up his core supporters.
