I’m sorry for ranting, but I need to let the steam off.

The amount of redditors defending Elon Musk is beyond pissing me off. This piece of shit literally sieg hailed and people are defending him like crazy, some going even to the length of saying it isn’t a nazi salute because the arm angle is wrong…

The thread that finally pissed me off to this point is this one in r/linux_gaming.

The sheer amount of libs that think there shouldn’t be politics in a fucking Linux subreddit is beyond baffling, and the amount of people just defending Musk just pisses me off to no end. At this point I’m done with that shit ass platform. I’ll delete my account after I bookmark some of the actual useful threads I saved over the years. FUCKING HELL.

    I deleted my account months ago and haven’t missed it once. Twitter at least still shows me insightful information sometimes, cause of who I’m tuned into. Reddit for me had become basically just arguing with imperialists, if my comments weren’t insta-shadow-deleted on bigger subs or if I didn’t get banned on one sub or another for challenging the genocidal zionist narrative or the “Russia is cartoon evil and inexplicably decided to be as evil as possible” narrative.

    If someone can get value out of it / can deprogram others effectively on there, more power to em. But for me, it was a healthy one to cut off.

      I’ve been meaning to delete my account there for a while because I barely uses it other than to keep informed on a few subreddits. It just got to a point where at least now I have an even better excuse to delete it.

      I recently deleted my Twitter, tho I wasn’t using it since the temporary ban here in Brasil. And even tho it was also relevant for me since it also had insightful information, I couldn’t take the sheer amount of nazi posting that would show up to me there.

      Part of my experience there have been like this too, plus the fact that I got told that my country deserved a US backed military coup. 🤡
