What nuance is there that you want discussed? Elon was always a grifter and in 2015 the signs of that were just starting to show. In 2023 it's so glaringly aparant only his most devout stans still believe the fantasy world.
I’m going to be a bit meta here, but Lemmy is very circle-jerky right now. Lots of fediverse worship (despite potential flaws regarding governance and centralization of activity on Lemmy.world) and daily beatdowns on Twitter, Reddit, and big tech. The whole Reddit API fiasco happened two weeks ago but people are still bringing in that Internet janitor stuff over here.
To be fair, it's not just limited to here. Pretty much every place is dunking on Twitter and Reddit's self-owns right now. It'll die out in a day or two like always
Yeah, it’s like watching a cargo plane crash into an actively derailing train. There’s naturally going to be lots of buzz about it, even if people don’t normally care about planes or trains.
I agree. But it feels a lot more acute here. Perhaps it’s because people have that fediverse/anti-Big Tech boner going on. I’m on some other centralized Reddit alternatives and there’s a lot more engagement with other content besides anything related to Twitter/Reddit.
