As long as influential and popular people stay on the Xitter, under excuses,eg. 'fighting back' or 'lack of alternatives' , it will maintain to draw eyeballs and therefore $$$, and will keep the Ketamine Klown very relevant through his control of the disinformation machine.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

They can't. It's a drug. They're addicted to the discourse, the absurdity, the spectacle of it all and lack the ability to admit it. That's social media as a whole including niche platforms like ours, but the lack of a purposeful algorithm driving engagement and increasing revenue is our "saving grace".
This is why I judge people who are into reality tv. You’re allowed to enjoy lowbrow drama, but it does tinge your worldview and your cadence. It’s hard not to allow it to have some small influence on you. It makes you a smidge more catty or delusional.
Equally, when you check twitter, the argumentative nature of the app imbues itself into you. You become more prone toward short-form, bludgeoning communication.
Relatedly, what do you think lemmy’s thing is?
Honestly Lemmy is a bit too scattershot in its nature to really give it something defined, I guess it's a bit like Tumblr. A mix of memes, shitposts, and five paragraph long rants about whatever the fuck is currently being discussed also the Linux and fifty two flavors of leftists.
So basically the horrid love child of Reddit, 4chan, and Tumblr which given the apparent user base is probably rather literal. The real old bastard originate from IRC boards, YTMND, and Something Awful.
The Nazi Elon Musk can't stop posting about Nazi politics
Someone needs to slip fentanyl into his drug stash. Please.
This dude, a private citizen, comes in with a squad of unknown teenagers and hijacks a shitload of government programs and data then flies away, wants to share conspiracy theories? Are you for real man?
@grok, who would make a better right-wing extremist, Elon Musk or Benito Mussolini?
“That’s a good question! While Elon would seem to be the best choice due to his history of extreme right-wing comments, Mussolini has the added benefit of being dead, so he would be the best.”
Musk left his role in the second Trump administration in May to focus on his companies,...
Yeah this is misinformation. He left the administration because he was beat up for being up Trump's ass a few too many times
So this is what happens when someone is so pathetic and attention seeking that even MAGA wants nothing to do with them.
MAGA + tankies + every else = Fuck Elon
Bigot says bigot shit on his bigot platform, news at 11
Fate loves irony, but hates hypocrisy
So fucking cringe, but imagine if this clown actually gave a shit about hypocrisy
He better be careful. He's gonna make us hate fringe politics even more than that "truck" he shills.
World's first chronically online billionaire
If people stop using his platform to view his message, he will fade into obscurity.
Is this kethead Nazi still in the news? Who cares about him now that he's not in a position to hurt anyone anymore?
It looks like that feud was staged because protests and boycotts were actually hurting Tesla. It looks like he still operates, but now in the same line as Thiel, Yarvin and others.
Not to mention his money flowing through right wing politics in Europe, exasterbating their messaging and influence.
exasterbating
An exasperating wank.
Lmaoo pardon my spelling
"Dammit. Again?"
If he has time to do that, he is obviously not doing his job that earned him a billion.
500 billion…
Musk is what happens when an incel get thrown a bone. And a cautuonary tale on why no one should ever do this.
Edgelord gonna edge.
When you think about it, Elon Musk’s behavior is quite similar to that of a stereotypical lifelong stripper. He not so silently struggles with daddy issues, which drive him to seek attention from strangers and drugs. This behavior has led him to purchase the largest social strip club on the internet, Twitter, so that he can perform for us. In essence, his mental scars are on display, much like an older stripper showing off her numerous c-section scars.
This belittles sex workers more than it describes Musk. Just because they're naked doesn't make their work any less demeaning than rotting behind a desk waiting to have your retirement stolen.
