To be clear: It wasn't the behavior of X or Musk over the past year that caused this, when he was already clearly being a Nazi pushing Nazi propaganda, it was the Nazi Salute.

I'm glad people are finally blocking X and I'll take wins where we can get them, but this should have happened a long time ago.

The behavior of X did not change after his salute, it was already operating as a Nazi platform. My opinion of Musk didn't change after seeing his Nazi salute, I already knew he was a fascist supporting the fascist party. My only surprise was that he was already willing to say it louder for the people in the back that he's a Nazi.

It's so frustrating that people are so unwilling to call fascists fascists until they go completely mask off. Musk can exhibit every Nazi behavior and people keep using X no problem, but it's the fucking salute that gets them to finally block the platform.

So do people hate Nazis because of what they stand for? Or do they just hate the Nazi salute? Because by all available information it's the salute that might get someone in trouble, all the other behaviors get ignored or excused.

mask off, musk on

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

He’s financing AfD and has agreed with tweets that Jewish people are trying to dovide the white race. He’s as fascist as fascists can be.

I didn't think I was still capable of being shocked but the nazi salute at the president's podium did actually shock me a little. They fuckers are not even trying to pretend any more. I would hope that this shit makes people avoid musk-related products like they're a rabid rottweiler. I kinda feel bad for people who bought a Tesla years ago though. Also, spaceX has to be a national security issue now.

They're still trying to pretend:

Alternative explanations for the gesture are plausible. Musk is socially awkward, and he may have been stiffly trying to throw love to the crowd for helping put Trump back in office. “My heart goes out to you,” he said after he did the gesture a second time.

Rolling stone? That's disappointing. Yeah I've seen similar shit in the media. But I'm thinking if it acts like a nazi and looks like a nazi it is probably a fuckin nazi. it's pretty fuckin alarming, a lot of people died getting rid of them last time they gained power.

I see people trying to use the "but he has autism, he probably didn't understand what he was doing!" Except those are the same people that will turn around and yell at a regular person with autism and say "shut up, it's not an excuse!"

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

I've got autism and I'm not doing sieg heil even when I want to stop a taxi. Let alone on the main fuckin stage of the US with the world watching. Fuckin nazis back in power.

Rpcgaming is the biggest? Never heard of it

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I do all my gaming through Remote Procedure Calls.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Thank God it's not just me

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

For when playing Nethack over telnet just has unacceptable protocol overhead, it's time to bust out some RPC.

Bad, but not nearly Twitter bad.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Reddit had communities dedicated to pedos and an incredibly toxic Trump community long before Twitter started getting a bad rep.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 22 hours ago

For sure...

But, IDK, i think modern Twitter is worse than modern reddit. That said i havnt been on reddit since the migration.

A miserable pile of secrets

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

insert screenshot of several entire threads of scrubbed comments

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is that why they started collapsing 90% of the comments? It's super annoying now having to go through and expand them all.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

They think people are there to read the memes. They don't believe that "the real ____ is in the comments"
