    Can we all just boycott anything having to do with Musk/Twitter? I just want a browser extension that will automatically prevent me from going to a site that has any sort of links or anything related to twitter. Your blog also links to your Twitter account? Fuck you, I’m not reading it. Your news story references a tweet from somebody? Fuck you I’m not reading it. Your Lemmy post talks about Musk or Twitter? Fuck you, I’m not reading it. I just want all mention of Musk or Twitter or X completely erased from the internet. It may unfortunately impact any reference to anything else ‘X’ related, but that’s a small price to pay for a Musk-free life.

      Devil’s advocate, it should be amplified as much as possible, because it reminds the public that billionaires are not inherently intelligent nor worthy of their money.

      Problem is you’d also block all the older articles from when twitter was only a mudpit and not a hellhole

        Oh no, all those articles from the Trump presidency where Trump posted something asinine and everybody freaked out about it, whatever shall I do?

      Is there any app for Lemmy that can filter by keyword? I don’t want to read about Elon and Trump multiple times a day. With some Kanye, Zuckerberg and Tate sprinkled in.

      I already know they suck and 99% of the time they are mentioned it isn’t even relevant or is about social media platforms I don’t use.

      Even better idea, everyone order a starlink then do a return. Will temp cost you $300 but free return shipping at spacex expense

        SpaceX is an amazing company. I don’t want to punish SpaceX.

        It’s less than a quarter the cost to get to space now, because of SpaceX
