A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Just flag Twitter as a hate platform and delist them?
Let Musky deal with explaining why it isn't and beg, like how Apple set his stupid ass straight.
What's the apple story?
In 2022...
Musk launched a provocative Twitter tirade against Apple, and its CEO. Musk claimed that Apple had withdrawn most of its advertising and was threatening to block the platform from its mobile store where iPhone users download apps. Musk said the move was an act to undermine free speech.
Tim cook invited him to their campus. And let's just say Musk learned at that moment to stfu.

musk...said they "resolved the misunderstanding" over Twitter possibly being removed from the App Store. "Tim was clear that Apple never considered doing so," Musk tweeted.
Sounds like the other way around to me...
Yeah I remember reading at the time that they basically kissed and made up; Musk actually interacted with Tim like a human and was snapped out of his weird manic fit, and Tim told him they were still advertising. That's it.
Funny how quickly an invitation and a face-to-face meeting can have keyboard warriors on their heels.
In my head, it was Apple going, "Twitter is a fucking ant in this game and I will curb stomp you. You understand me you little piece of shit?"
It's a nice daydream, but almost definitely nothing even close to that happened.
According to Musk?
I assume Twitter or X now is still on the app store?
And direct everyone to the Fediverse. All government officials should have their primary accounts there.
They should be running their own server where they have complete control over the content. I hate that public entities rely so much on third party services when their own websites get neglected. Like, I went to your website for info, but then find I have to go to Twitter or FB or whatever to find updates. And then Musk rat has a fit in the K hole and blocks stuff or tweaks the interface to mess shit up somehow and poof, it's gone until he wakes up one of his engineers to fix it.
I find it baffling that most are not maintaining both mastodon and threads accounts.
Honestly this is the best answer. Kill his dying platform.
He bought it for the large natural language dataset and also to help kill it for non democratic nations.
Well, he won't. Cops answer to billionaires.
But also, cops like having an excuse to violently punish their comrades. So they're happy with whoever gave them that excuse, billionaire or not.
Cops are also incredibly lazy. And Elon isn't within arm's reach.
Did he make cybertrucks "bulletproof" so no one would shoot him in his rat face?
Perhaps these billionaires wouldn't have to prep for the apocalypse if they stopped trying to cause one!
They are vulnerable to large metal sphere being casually chucked at the windows though.
Targeted EMP. Locked inside a cage of his own making. Just let him sit in the sun. Or roll him into a lake.
It can't even stop a low grain bullet from an AR-15, which is notably one of the most popular rounds in America. People buying these trucks are so gullible.
And why would I even care about a car being bullet proof? I want a spare tire.
that wouldn't even make sense since the glass was never "bulletproof" and if you're gonna hit him in the face, you gotta go through the glass.
Hence my quotes.
I agree. The world needs more fuck around and found out among the rich bastards.
If?
If?
Good thing it's the UK here. We know what happens to rich people who incite riots in the US. Nothing.
Thats not true. They get to run for president.
But we are not arresting rich guys.
It's against their laws
Could we, maybe, just have him arrested anyway, just in case?
🍿
He is promoting the pogroms
He's using it to keep activity up on Twitter lol. Giving him the time of day is bad for the mental health
Why do we even give him this attention? This news is completely irrelevant. He just wants attention to fuel engagement on his Twitter baby...
Holding wealthy people accountable for their actions is a rare thing, worth treasuring and celebrating, even when it’s just talk. I hope we can all pray that Elon Musk is brought to justice soon.
Permanently.
