Though let's be honest, this is not one of the influential/important things regarding Musk that should be reported on. It's just some idiots online claiming they'd do something they can't do, in order to make Musk-senpai notice them; it's not even about Musk per se.
Scrolling through the thread, I think that enough native speakers with no disabilities have found the wording confusing, to the point where there's no need to appeal to non-natives and those with disabilities to prove it is just confusing word choice.
As a non-native (who also misunderstood the sentence at first), I wouldn't want people to adapt or simplify their language for my sake.
But nobody here is actually excusing Musk's behaviour. You're arguing against something that hasn't been claimed, with weirdly authoritarian rhetoric at that.
Downvoting makes comments less visible. So downvoting is the equivalent of taping someone’s mouth shut because you don’t agree with them. Is that really what you are trying to do?
This is ridiculous, especially the comparison with physical violence. Upvoting a comment also makes all the other comments less visible, by promoting the comment you've picked, taking up the place where some other comment could've been. Nobody's mouth is taped shut by either upvoting or downvoting, all the comments are still visible, it's just that their order will be determined by the upvotes and downvotes - and removing the latter from the equation won't negate the "discrimination" (comment sorting) created by the former.
Yeah, nah. For a start, if one website could be singled out for bringing Trump into power, it wasn't any of those icky extremist places such as 4chan, 8chan, r/trump - it was Twitter where he posted his garbage for literal years with no interruption and thus gained a massive following. The site practically lived off his controversial diarrhea.
TBH it's just simple text files, you can open any .srt with Notepad and edit it to your liking. I always remove those dumb ads at the beginning and the end.
To communicate with people, to follow various pages and groups that notify me of the current events regarding the topics that interest me, to buy and sell stuff in some groups, etc. At least in my case.
Probably would've gotten the same result even if you asked the absent users. Lemmy 196 is nice and lively as far as Lemmy goes, but it's no match to reddit's userbase, and that one has clearly gotten tired of the protest after a while.
The creator can still feel like shit for making a bad/unpopular video when they see the number of dislikes, so it still has a point for me.
Maybe it affects the algorithm or something. And it allows the users to at least feel like they're expressing their feelings, without outright denying the option like Facebook used to do.
Hey there, fellow political enthusiasts and furry friend lovers! We're Alex and Taylor, and we're on a mission to document our obsession with congressional apportionment. But, we're not doing it alone – our faithful companions, Nero the dog 🐶 and Scipio the cat 🐱, are along for the ride. 🚗
As many of you know, congressional apportionment is the process of determining how many seats each state gets in the U.S. House of Representatives. It's a topic that might make some people yawn, but for us, it's like a thrilling adventure!
If course not, but it's a parody of a pre-existing meme, so ordinary authorship and ownership don't really apply here anyway.
