This is the exact reason that I deleted my Reddit account and am back over here

[-] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 11 points 8 hours ago

Yeah, spreading hate, fake news and tearing down a government is fine, discussing who is behind this is against their policy due to "doxing and supporting violence".

Why is everyone bending over for Elon? He can go outside and play hide and go fuck him self with Trumps mums thalidomide filled lead based dildo.

[-] straightjorkin@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

He needs to climb into a bunker and follow his leader

[-] Bogasse@lemmy.ml 8 points 10 hours ago

Well he's both the richest man on earth and prime minister-ish of the home country of these platforms.

I agree he doesn't say a lot of meaningful things but it would be a mistake to think he doesn't have power.

Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran for unrelated reasons.

[-] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 20 hours ago

Musk’s team of youngsters, as first reported by WIRED on Sunday, is Akash Bobba, 21, a student at the University of California, Berkeley; Edward Coristine, 19, a student at Northeastern University in Boston; and Ethan Shaotran, 22, who said in September he was a senior at Harvard.

The ones who actually have degrees, or at least have left college, are: Luke Farritor, 23, who attended the University of Nebraska without graduating; Gautier Cole Killian, a 24-year-old who attended McGill University; and Gavin Kliger, a 25-year-old who attended Berkeley;

Chad Loder. What a name!

Elon Musk, free speech absolutist.

[-] MrLLM@ani.social 8 points 14 hours ago

We’ve been mishearing him, it’s fee speech absolutist.

[-] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 114 points 1 day ago

If you want to know who really is in charge, just look at who you're not allowed to criticize.

[-] qantravon@lemmy.world 45 points 1 day ago
[-] straightjorkin@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

I mean, the phrase was made because they're pussies who can't handle criticism of their speech. In this use the "not able to crtisize" is literally having your ability to speak shut down.

[-] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 63 points 1 day ago

And I'm using it against a literal neonazi. Seems fair to me.

[-] Arghblarg@lemmy.ca 37 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Interesting fact, thanks.

As they say though, even a broken clock can be right twice a day

Use of a phrase doesn't automatically imply agreement with its originator.

[-] VintageGenious@sh.itjust.works 1 points 19 hours ago

Broken clock as speed isn't right or offset? Doesn't seem to work

[-] prole 1 points 7 hours ago

I've always heard the saying as "a stopped clock."

[-] qantravon@lemmy.world 10 points 19 hours ago

For the phrase, "broken" specifically means "stopped", and the clock is analog. If the hands don't turn, then they will be correct twice per day.

[-] VintageGenious@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Thanks makes more sense! Idk why the downvotes... Because in the case of an offset it would always be wrong and in the case of a speed change.

In the general case, with clock speed a and offset b:

  • a x + b ≡ x (mod 12)
  • a x + b = x + 12k

If a=1, normal speed with offset,

  • b = 12k ≡ 0 (mod 12)

So it works for any multiple of 12h offset (ie no offset)

If a≠1,

  • x = (12k - b)/(a-1)

It isn't always in a day, so you can end up having to wait multiple days for it to be right

[-] SeaJ@lemm.ee 6 points 19 hours ago

Even a stopped Nazi clock is right twice a day.

[-] YamahaRevstar@lemmy.world 85 points 1 day ago

I hereby claim that the law was broken! Arrest Elon!

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 32 points 1 day ago

Have you donated 7+ figures to Donnie? Maybe sprinkle in some leveraging the social media platform you own to help spread propaganda? How concerned are you with the cost of eggs?

This is why I think it's important to stoop to their level and start spreading childish rumors about them.

✔️ Not inciting violence

✔️ Not illegal

✔️ Not significant enough for them to claim defamation

✔️ Makes them far too angry for how petty it is on account of their extremely low emotional intelligence

For example: JD Vance only eats the cat food part of lucky charms pass it on

Another example: JD Vance says he's sorry after cumming pass it on

Just one more for good measure: JD Vance puts his cast iron in the dishwasher pass it on

[-] otp@sh.itjust.works 5 points 16 hours ago

Not to start a rumour, but is it illegal to ask if Musk might be a pedophile?

[-] straightjorkin@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

The guy certainly doesn't mind cp on his site

[-] prex@aussie.zone 3 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Many people say so. I don't know. Edit: the second bit, not the illegal bit.

[-] lennivelkant@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 12 hours ago

In theory, asking isn't illegal and truth is a defense against charges of slander and I wouldn't be surprised to learn his desire for domination extends to children. In practice, you're probably a few billion short of laws to apply.

[-] 11111one11111@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago

Yeah but you really can't dox people even if it seems like the moral thing to do. It wasn't any decision made outside the company, it was made by reddit because it was walking a fine line with their policies.

I'm going entirely off theory but there is a likely chance the people who got hired to be a minion had no idea the parameters of the job. I've gone thru the government job listings and they will tell you only so much about the position. What is required to qualify for the job, what tasks will be done in the job but beyond that, they aren't going to tell you what the grand scheme of the position is. So to me, if any of that is true, then they are trying to post the identities of people who may be appalled by what their job is but don't have the means to step down without having other income already lined up.

I'm not saying anything about what musk is doing is right. I'm just saying, there should be action taken to prevent the identities of people being posted on the internet for all to see.

Dont forget, reddit has literally falsely identifyied an innocent man who committed suicide as being the Boston bomber. Creating an absolute hell for the grieving family who thought their son was missing only to find out he committed suicide before the boston bombing happened. They only found out from the reddit manhunt to dox an innocent person.

[-] frostysauce@lemmy.world 12 points 21 hours ago

I was under the impression it was six people that were DOGE henchmen. They absolutely knew what the job was so I don't know what you're on about. Their names should absolutely be public knowledge.

[-] 11111one11111@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

No shit. Yeah you're prolly right then.

[-] schizo@forum.uncomfortable.business 10 points 18 hours ago

And frankly, in any case, posting someone's name online in correlation to a public job isn't doxxing.

Too many people have gone 'posting anything online about anyone is doxxing!' which is just stupid.

If you work for the government, then yes, your name is (unless you're doing some classified shit) is public. So is/was your salary.

Don't want your shit public, don't work for the public. Very simple.
