Root826024y@mallard I see reddit as more (and worse) fiction than /b/, honestly. Much of it is an echo chamber, with sources to match.
I’m not interested in delving in and trying to verify things.
Why? People seem to hate rich and/or successful people for no other reason than they’re rich or successful. After deciding/realizing that, they’ll find or invent reasons, and post exposés about it to get others riled up. That’s kinda the new norm, honestly.
And anyone that doesn’t agree is an “apologist” or a horrible person for some other reason, real or imagined. Trying to find rationality in such a situation is useless. And that’s exactly what I expect from reddit, twitter, facebook, etc.
It’s madness.
Unless I see a clip of him being a horrible person, I’m going to assume he has opinions and occasionally forgets to keep them to himself. Kind of like most others. Or that he gets angry at stupid and/or incompetent people — which is pretty much my norm, too. Definitely that last one. -
Root826024y@mallard I haven’t said a word in defense of him, or against him. (Are you calling me an apologist? 😉)
To your other contention: I chose not to read sites with a high concentration of misinformation. I find that rational rather than avoidant. -
Root826024y@mallard “Elon bad.” and “Reddit good.”
Got that.
I’m arguing against the latter. The two are unrelated. -
mallard54y@Root I'm telling you that I cannot link any sources on this app and saying to look it up yourself. I haven't mentioned reddit in several comments now because yes, it can have some wrong information, but not only reddit has proof of Elon being a total ahole and just simply a bad person. And you still refuse to look up. Even his Twitter can be enough.
-
I second @Root. I deleted all of my reddit stuff for this reason and haven't gone back. It's a hive mind.

skylord2214y@mallard Why do your comments give me the feeling that you're part of the 5G conspiracy gang?

bioDan61594yI find Elon to be an inspiration and heard him talk on various topics and shows. I think he is smart, only human, and overall a force for good in the world. I dont understand the hate he gets either.
I think @Root is right to point out its mostly envy.
That’s brilliant
