Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.


7. No duplicate posts.


If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners.


The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.

Is he in Scientology? He’s gone off the cliff like most of them do.

No, he is just a man child who was forced into dumping billions into a social media platform because he sucks at trolling.

That's the funny thing; he wasn't forced into it. He could have just paid $1bn for his idiotic 420 joke (or probably much less if he'd settled out of court) and gotten away without any further damage. But instead, he took out a $13 billion loan and spent another $21bn of his own money for it. So instead of setting $1bn or less on fire, he set $34 billion on fire. Plus the additional money that his idiotic compatriots put up. This truly is the dumbest timeline.

Edit: He also ended up selling a shit load of his TSLA stock to make one of his payments to the bank, which caused tesla to tank in the market costing him untold billions as well. He is not a smart man.

No. That's only if the deal didn't work for external reasons.

Finally. Took them long enough.

[–] doublejay1999@lemmy.world -1 points 10 months ago

This.

There are so many media institutions and slebs who have and still are giving twitter all its content .

They are complicit in this.

He doesn’t seem well. He sounds like someone that desperately needs help. Even though I think he is a giant piece of shit, I hope he has someone around him that can get him some help. Perhaps selling Twitter or just shutting it down could be part of the solution. If nothing is done, I’m afraid this guy will end up as a case of drug overdose or suicide.

Nah man, this is the closest he will ever get for punishment for the horrible things he has done to his employees, to the actual green movement and climate change, and public discourse via Twitter.

He shouldn't even have government contracts because he readily admits he abuses drugs. But I guess rules are just for plebes like us, right?

No, fuck him, let him spiral, and I hope he fucking loses it all and kills himself.

Fucking worthless. Up there with fucking Kissinger. Both can rot in fucking hell, for all I care.

Poor Linda Yaccarino (current CEO of Twitter). She must be wondering what in the actual ### did I get myself into...

[–] doublejay1999@lemmy.world -1 points 10 months ago

How could she not know ?
