  • I dunno, man. Sometimes I’m really concerned with the echo chamber here. If you look at Lemmy and Reddit, it’s nothing but an Elon-hating amphitheatre, yet objectively, the guy still seems to be soaring up all the lists that matter.

    So, something isn’t right. The guy is obviously popular in places that matter, and it’s worrying that places like this never, ever, ever show it.

    I’d like to think Lemmy isn’t one-sided and biased but it clearly is.

    And for the record, I’m not pro or anti-Elon. I’m not plugged in (or care) enough to know shit about the guy. But what I’m not going to do is Boomer-lean into one source and parrot the sentiment. Isn’t that what us Gen-Ys and Gen-Zs are supposed to despise, and be too internet savvy to fall for, or are we following our parents into ignorance?

    Back in the early days of Reddit if you edited something it was marked as such, but people didn’t know what you edited. So, as a courtesy, you explained your edit.

    Lots of platforms now have an ‘edited’ notification so it’s still common to leave the ‘E:’ comment.
