Enough Musk Spam

2089 readers

For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

If the account is set to public, then yes, pretty much everything available except DMs. If you have it set to private, then no, at least not from the public APIs.

That's fucked up. It's not that different from leaving your browser history for the world to see when there are jokes about taking browser history to the grave.

If you use your public tweets like a private diary you're going to have a bad time. If this hypothetical person is ashamed of their deviant sex behaviors, don't use Twitter.

Hell the privacy minded even say an incognito browser is still not very private.

But to claim your Twitter history is private is a bit of a stretch.

That said I don't use Twitter so do people use it like a diary?

Well it's not a matter of just this guy, but also normal people who aren't criminals, extremists, or politicians. While still awful, it's one thing to use that info for profit by giving other companies access to it. It's another thing to make it accessible to just about anyone.

No point asking me, I never use Twitter either.
