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.

If you thought that was glaringly obvious then I have some thoughts on why your code sucks.
I COULD take this bait, or I could satisfy myself that 325 people had absolutely no problem understanding how a megaphone doesn't need to be a LITERAL megaphone, and go about my day. I know which I'm gonna do, and wish you luck in whatever you've got on your plate, my needlessly confrontational friend.
I mean most likely if someone didn't get it they probably just moved on and didn't comment or even vote. So wouldn't look into the votes too much as a source on how easy to understand the meme was
Edit: I apologize. You're right. That response was out of proportion and I let some nitpicking drive me to an inappropriate level of escalation. You in particular didn't deserve to have the full brunt of that put into a direct response to you - you were the most reasonable commenter here. I was out of line.
You're being weirdly hostile and demeaning about someone who isn't a native speaker (talking about me) not immediately getting the meaning of your meme. Sorry it took me a few attempts, I guess.
(Duplicating here to ensure you see it) I apologize. You’re right. That response was out of proportion and I let some nitpicking drive me to an inappropriate level of escalation.

I appreciate you saying this
Not at all. I know it's not a good reason, or a valid excuse, but I had a really bad couple of days and after my head cooled I felt awful about taking it out on you, especially after finding you really AREN'T a native speaker. 100% my post was completely out of line. Hope it wasn't too disruptive to your day.
I'm not unfamilair to losing my cool sometimes. So I get it. Happens. I was more surprised about the reaction than anything.
I just want to let you know, you wasted a lot of time typing this all up, so I'm not wasting any more by reading it 🤗
Even the person you replied to said "Took me a few reads". And another post was confused as well.
It runs fine on my machine
