General Megathread for Elon Musk Nonsense and Twitter News (beehaw.org)

Hey folks -

The seemingly never-ending flood of Musk/Twitter news and commentary is getting to some of our users (and some of the mods, too), so we've decided to create a general Megathread for all things related to Elon Musk and X/Twitter.

This thread will be a general Musk catch-all, so we're including news about Musk acting the fool as related to any of his companies (SpaceX, Tesla, Boring). News about those companies that don't involve Elon can be posted outside this thread.

Ok? It’s the default just like Reddit. We have a massive migration of people from Reddit operating like they’re still on Reddit because they’re on a site that’s meant to be a replacement for…Reddit. And one day it won’t be flawed/broken I imagine.

I really am not interested in discussing this with someone who is so eager to discount someone’s point because they use a different side of fediverse tbh.

I see posts on the daily talking about better sort options than hot. I think it is you who is less familiar with the diversity of the fediverse. Remember, my original comment was:

I'm not interested in dismissing your feedback, but I do kind of agree with the point made by person you're responding to (I don't agree with the rhetoric).

By sorting by hot, I get a lot of low-engagement posts with 5-20 upvotes and 0 comments. It's just not the kind of content I want on my feed. And while this is all anecdotal, Lionir also responded to you with (hopefully honest) confirmation that active > hot for most users.
