Yes it was, it was a direct reply to

The use of a platform is how they get money. The usage contributes to stats, clicks, throughput they then show those numbers to advertisers - to get money. So the content doesn't matter. The use does.

You post to Twitter, you help Musk. Simple as that unfortunately. That's part of why Capitalism is insidious, you're constantly aiding a ruling class who do not share your class interests. The least we can do is boycott the worst of them.

This isn't a twitter post, it's a lemmy post of a picture of a twitter post. This post doesn't help musk monetarily at all unless he owns mander.xyz and has monetized it somehow. The post is also likely a repost, if you wish to affect musk's bottom line, you don't need to "inform" the people on lemmy that the people who post on twitter should not be posting on twitter, as they are posting on lemmy, thus not at least currently engaging in the behavior you find objectionable. Go tell twitter people if you must evangelize, you can probably also find them on Reddit, Facebook, and Insta if you don't want to go to Twitter to tell them there. However, we're on lemmy. The people here use Masto, Pleroma, Misskey, or Bluesky, largely not twitter, the shit that got most of you off reddit to here also got you off twitter and onto Masto, before the reddit exodus if memory serves me. Trying to "educate" the folks here about the fact that "twitter is a nazi" or whatever is essentially screaming into the void, or rather circlejerking, and IMO the circlejerk isn't relevant to a post about octopi simply because it's a screenshot of twitter.

Imagine being so butthurt that you think I made the original comment (you've addressed me as if I did), I didn't, I said it didn't deserve the downvotes. But I get it you're a closet musk fan boy or something, and want to downvote people complaining about him.

...and then imagine having such a child minded ego that you think you know everyone across multiple platforms and can speak for them.

What a joke. Get your shit together and move on with life. No one's forced you to read or discuss this. Take some responsibility for your participation/consumption.

I address you as if you're arguing against me, because you are. Idgaf if you made the original comment or not, you chose to reply to me and I replied to your reply. Feel free to not.

Okay, but only because you're so unable to control whether you respond to posts and comments, that you literally might need someone to show you it's possible to just stop interacting with something when/if it bothers you...

...like it's just so embarrassing that you've blamed the internet for "making your respond"... You don't like something or don't want to fucking reply to it you can just fucking stop.

It's really not that difficult.
