As misinformation proliferated on X thanks to verified users, a massive account sharing accurate information hit its Musk-imposed posting limit.

    You’re talking to a brick wall.

    Elon bad, Twitter bad. Any comment that doesn’t clearly say this and still mentions the human/service is instantly downvoted without another thought.

      I know lol but I like to say my piece, if only because saying it helps form the ideas more fully.

        I do the same, not like the downvotes mean anything to me.

        Looking at how many there are with 0 replies though, I’d happily bet at least a couple are bots.

        I hope I’m wrong though.

          Nah I think they’re people, it’s people who like to jump on downvote trains. Most people just lurk and move on though.

          But yeah, lemmy votes are pretty meaningless in the long run - and that’s a good thing. All the things reddit did with votes (hiding comments, rate limiting) were some of the first steps that made the site shit. Also, if lemmy votes were meaningful, they’d have a far bigger problem with vote manipulation across multiple instances.

      Yeah, not a lot of mental flexibility here. They’re probably the same people who thought musk was going to save the world a few years ago and now feel angry and betrayed that he turned out to be just another greedy dumb shit.

        Lmfao no I’ve always been calling out Musk’s bullshit. I call out bullshit wherever I see it, which is why I’m replying to you right now.
