Then stop already. Stop mentioning the name. Stop posting articles about it. Stop sharing articles about it on other social media.
You know what's immoral? Posting ragebait articles about a platform because you know users will engage.
I dunno', kinda' sounds similar to, "racism would be over if you'd just shut up about it."
X and Elon don't magically disappear because you choose to ignore them.
And it would be similar to that if racism was a business that survived based on engagement.
If you think it isn't, you clearly haven't been paying attention to all of racism in general and hypercapitalist neofascism in particular.
It’s not “x” it’s called Twitter.
This is a good case for deadnaming.
I dunno. Racism isn’t entirely manifested by one man. He’s just one more bucket of piss in a sea of piss. Fuck him. We can at any time choose to ignore him. Choose to ignore his shit app. He doesn’t matter to any equation, he’s just an annoying rich person struggling with their addiction to child pornography. Wups did I say the silent part out loud. Shit.
Well, that's way more true than it is false. The way the left hyped up race as the single most important and defining feature of people wasn't exactly helpful. The idea of racial realism should be deconstructed, not actively supported. I have literally never seen as much racism in my life as what the left has been doing in the last 10-15 years.
And as for Elon, ignoring him would go a long way as well. The only reason why he is relevant, is because news media hypes up everything he says, no matter how false or irrelevant it is. Simply sticking to the important news, instead of clickbait and hype, would go a long way to quiet things down.
I'm sure if we just ignore rich and powerful people, they'll go away.
They won't. But complaining about them on Lemmy and Bloomberg is empowering them.
I get your point that major media outlets constantly talking about them is empowering them, but pretending that Lemmy talking about it has any effect whatsoever is vastly overestimating how consequential this place is.
I know a lot of people here are just sick to hear of the matter but lets not pretend that not talking about it is a moral stance.
Lol. What?
[CITATION NEEDED]
Twitter has millions of users. Not talking about its issues clearly won’t solve the problem.
Back before Apollo was killed I had the words “Elon” and “Trump” filtered out. I just never saw these rage posts in the first place. Man, I’d love to see that feature in a Lemmy client. Anyone know if it exists?
I'm new to Lemmy but I believe Boost for Lemmy allows you to filter on keywords.
Thanks I’ll check it out

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Lol irony.
The moral case for just shutting the hell up about X finally for fucks sake.
I'll shut up about it when it quits being relevant.
Is it relevant? Maybe I'm just being a grumpy old man but literally the only time I ever think about it is when it's posted about on here.
Tell that to OP. Oh, wait...
