It’s just amazing that probably the one man who least needs to give a crap about anything has such a thin skin. All of his money can’t seem to resolve his deep insecurity.
Not sure why the title says Elon nuked the account for outing him when the account owner says in the article that he left on his own accord due to doxxing
<sarcasm>Because, obviously, everything happening on X is Musk fault</sarcasm>
Dude spent $44Bil just so he could behave like an insecure reddit mod…
And all of the Reddit moderators looked in awe and decided to behave just like him.
Only problem is that they aren’t getting the kind of money he does for it.
Not the mods, literally the admins. Steve idolizes Musk.
Rich stupid guy doing things is not technology. Why is this community flooded with this guy doing or saying things?
I’m keen to join another tech focused community, with less non-tech spam, any recommendations?
Good luck. This stuff infects every technology related group I’ve seen here and on reddit.
Just need better moderation
Wasn’t he already busted having that weird account that’s a kid talking about hentai?
You’re a shit father, Elon.
There, he can’t delete that.
You think he wouldn’t buy lemmy.world?
He might, but that’s the whole point of federation - there’s hundreds of other instances (including the one you’re using) that he can’t buy all at once. If one instance gets taken over, Lemmy as a whole is still strong.
Even if he buys the organization developing Lemmy, I have faith the community will fork it and everyone will stop using Musk’s version.
I think the best option would actually be to see how many times we can pull the scam on him, before he realizes what’s happening. Oops, oh no Elon, people are using a different instance! Look at how many users they have (they are different users we swear)! Looks like you’re gonna have to buy that one now! and so on.
Yes, make him play Whac-A-Mole! I love it!
Yeh, if he bought twitter for 44B, and there are 400 instances then that is still 110M per instance if he were to do that again.
Even 10% of that amount is more than an instance is worth.
Sales can be made pretty quickly when they are massively overvalued.Some instances’ admins are not so easily bought! I hope, at least.
Meh, I say sell the insurance. It is relatively easy to spin up a new one. Let Elmo waste money.
I doubt the devs of Lemmy would accept that considering their political opinions.
Oh my sweet summer child.
Most people would sell their own grandmother into slavery for a few million. I mean they’d feel terrible about it but still.
These dev with their technical level could work at top tech companies and gain that in a couple of years. Yet they dedicated their time to building Lemmy instead.
Is this actually true? I just assumed it was someone’s side hustle.
Before the Reddit migration, our income was almost exclusively made up of generous donations from the NLnet foundation. This funding was based on getting paid for implementing new features, specified in advance.
We’ve known that this funding could not last indefinitely, and that after several years of funding, NLnet’s resources are better spent getting other projects up and running. Additionally, much of our time is spent on other equally important work: reviewing changes from community contributors, fixing bugs, doing support, and various organizational tasks.
That is why we are launching our first annual funding drive. The goal is to increase monthly, recurring donations from currently €4.000 to at least €12.000. With this amount @dessalines and @nutomic can each receive a yearly salary of €50.000 which is in line with median developer salaries. It will also allow one additional developer to work fulltime on Lemmy and speed up development. https://join-lemmy.org/news/2023-10-31_-_Join-Lemmy_Redesign_and_Funding_Drive
I think it would be easier to find where the owner of lemmy.world lives and threaten their family
Wait till he buy Lemmy
A “burner” account? Never heard it called that before. “Sock puppet” or just “puppet” makes much more sense.
It’s pretty common for people to refer to these types of accounts as burners on Twitter. I recall the GM of the 76ers getting in trouble about 5-10 years ago for having sock puppet accounts on Twitter and all the reporting referred to them as burners.
Drug culture is more well known among normies than nerd culture, is what we’re saying here.
Yes. That’s exactly what’s happening here. Big shout out to drugs for winning the war…
It’s like a burner phone, you use it for a short time, then throw it away. Like throwaway accounts on reddit. A sockpuppet is specifically to make it look like multiple people have a certain opinion (see also: astroturfing).
So in the case of the article in question, then, this absolutely refers to a “sockpuppet” and not a “burner” because Adrian Dittmann isn’t going anywhere.
Burner feels like such an old school term. I’ve more often heard “alt”, “Smurf”, or “finsta”. The last being a portmanteau of fake Instagram account
How. Fucking. Pathetic. Do you have to be. To have an entire army of sycophants. And that’s still not enough for your ego.
Being a halfway decent dad has to be easier than all this. Plenty of guys manage it
It honestly makes me genuinely sad. He definitely has complexes and holes in his soul to conduct this behavior. Doesn’t excuse him from being a complete asshole though.
Why are you sad about this piece of shit? He’d never pay you the same mind.
I revel in the insecurities and smallness of these exploitative, parasitic wastes of air.
You can always feel empathy. The more you try the better person you’ll become.
Don’t be like sad rich guy, be better.
Billionaire’s aren’t people and do not deserve our empathy. I am better. I don’t exploit thousands to hundreds of thousands of people’s lives for my own personal, shortsighted gain.
It’s not about them.
No, just… eat them.
It’s not like there’s any positive change waiting to happen from that thing. You can’t be tolerant of the intolerant. We joke a lot about Twixxer and how insecure Muxx is, but the truth remains - he is a real and direct threat to a lot of people.
Let’s not forget the beast behind the human behind the image.
This is the way.
You’rr an amazing
fathersugar daddy, ElonFTFE
It took Boston dynamics 30 years to do what Elon BOUGHT in one.
😂🤡
If Elon buys the robo dog…
As much as I hate Musk, its not like he’s lacking in actual sycophants to publicly kiss his ass. And also the title is wrong Liam Nissan didnt get banned he deleted the account to move to Bluesky.
X has two rules. Don’t talk shit about Elon, and don’t talk shit about the dictators he wants to get cozy to.
How exactly was it proven? Not defending Elon, I’m genuinely curious. The article mentions an audio recording sounding similar to Elon and some weird praises on Twitter. How does that connect the Dittmann account to Elon though?
All that money and power and no added happiness or joy. So unloved he has to fake it. I always knew absurd wealth doesn’t actually improve a person, but thanks for constantly proving it over and over again anyway Elon. Glad to know you’ll die unhappy.
Have you seen his mom (Maye Musk)? I don’t think she ever loved Elon, or anyone. Maybe Dalmatians.
Money won’t make you happy for sure.
Don’t harsh my buzz, dude.
Don’t buzz his harsh >:C
Yeah when there are world spanning consequences like buying Twitter or helping Russia with Starlink, I’m listening.
When he…has a second Twitter account, I do not care.
