Enough Musk Spam
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.
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.
fyi, unless something has changed (and anyone feel free to correct or update me), Mastodon is every bit as open. Last I checked, DMs aren’t even as private as on Twitter, and it’s recommended to use DMs only as a less-public direct message, and not use it for anything private that you wouldn’t want to risk getting leaked anywhere.
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?
the shocking things isn’t so much that it’s not private per se: we expect twitter to see everything we do and “personalise our experience”… we don’t expect arbitrary people to be able to
Anytime you see one of those vast Twitter connection charts between disinformation accounts that make you think of this guy
well, that’s one way how they make them.
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.
If you were really "security minded," you wouldn't be on the fucking internet.
