Or, you know, he's the richest man in the world running a social media site extremely popular with governments and the media and ignoring that kind of thing might be a bad idea.

Should we stop our "obsession" with other political topics? And this is a political topic due to the aforementioned governmental involvement, Twitter's effect on world politics, and Elon's own attempts to control U.S. politics.

Is this sub called US politics? My bad

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Firstly, again, this is not Reddit. We don't have subs here, we have communities.

Second, who are you to gatekeep? I don't see an M next to your username.

This community is called technology, not politics.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Implying technology is apolitical? I sincerely beg to differ.

Properly categorizing content = gatekeeping lmao, even if that was how the word works then by your logic not letting me call it sub is also gatekeeping. I understand you hearx a new word today but google it before using it, musk fanboys are something else

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn't stop you from calling it a sub, you just keep calling this place Reddit and using Reddit terms and you're just plainly wrong no matter how rude you are to me.

Rude? Calling out your mistakes and using your own logic against you after you try to accuse others with it is rude? That means you perceive correcting your vocabulary as an attack to your character, tfw being illiterate is your personality. I pity you

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What mistakes have I made exactly? And yes, you're being rude. For example, you called me illiterate in the very same comment you were indignant about my calling you rude. In fact, I will give you one more insult and then I'll block you. Specifically because this isn't Reddit and I will not tolerate Reddit behavior from anyone I talk to.

What mistakes? The word gatekeep? Aka the only subject of our last 2 exchanges? Youre either not paying attention or youre willfully ignoring my messages whatever. Falsely accuse someone, then double down and insult them when they call you out about it, literally elon musk behaviour congrats

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

And that's insult number two. I did not insult you once. That is a lie. You are now blocked.
