"So fucking what if an oligarch is using his position of power over a method of mass communication to shape public discourse to his will? I WANNA HEAR ABOUT ROBO DOGS OR SOME SHIT!"

Then fucking post about robo dogs. Contribute or STFU about what IS contributed.

    Reddit-tier effort in your response.

    Why is it that those that invoke reddit are the ones who's comments remind me the most of the anger and lack of civility I remember from there?

    Because you blindly associate the word "reddit" with shit-tier posting and assholery.

    Which is precisely what I was intending to evoke to illustrate how garbage the comment I was responding to is.

    So, mission accomplished. I'm gonna go have a snack.

    While you post is pure quality.

    More quality than yet another blathering imbecile whining that the content of a particular post isn't what they want to fucking see.

    Downvote and move on, or fucking contribute more content you want to see.

    Don't worry, I'm not yet another blathering idiot. Pretty sure I'm the same one, at least I've posted about this problem in one of the many other Musk threads on here before.

    I agree downvoting and moving on is probably best and that's what I've mostly been doing but I couldn't resist posting a bit of a quip this time in a moment of weakness.
