News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I think he wants it removed because of the effect on Tesla. He’d prefer if he could do things without consequences for his actions.

[–] MBech@feddit.dk 1 points 1 year ago

I assume it sucks feeling consequenses for the first time in his life. I hope he feels some more consequenses.

[–] umbraroze@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In Musk logic: it's not bad when he does it. It's bad when people start discussing it, because they might come to a disapproving conclusion.

[–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 2 points 1 year ago

That's a very roundabout way to say that he doesn't enjoy consequences.

There’s nothing wrong with sucking cocks. There’s everything wrong with being a greedy little Nazi bootlicker pigboy.

Don't forget creating and awarding a unique "Pimp Daddy" trophy for the founder and moderator of r/jailbait and r/creepshots!

[–] CrownedProphet@futurology.today 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm sorry, what?? You mean Spez?

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 2 points 1 year ago

u/violentacrez moderated a whole bunch of NSFW subs during the early days of Reddit, and was a notorious and infamous user. Among the subs he founded and moderated were r/jailbait and r/creepshots (which consisted of pictures of women taken without their consent).

For his services to Reddit, a custom, unique "Pimp Daddy" trophy was created and awarded to him. This is all ancient Reddit history at this point, though. u/violentacrez's account was suspended eventually and subs like jailbait and creepshots are closed down these days.

There’s nothing wrong with sucking cock but there is no doubt with a face like that he loves the idea of chocking on a cock as he fondles the nuts.

[–] anzo@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

You seem contradictory. Are you sure you're not homophobic? Not trying to bait. No need to answer me at all. Just calling for your own self reflection.

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He looks like a fucking serial killer

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He looks like he prefers a hairy nut sack in his mouth

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Let’s not insult people who enjoy having hairy nut sacks in their mouths, garbling balls tends to be a better thing for society than Reddit is

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Cocksuckers at least provide a service. Spez just services himself.

[–] felixwhynot@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Sure would be a shame if people were to download and print this image

On TV the heil reaches the target audience in a way of plausoble deniability, on the internet it can be perceived constantly, thought of, discussed. That breeds dissent much more than passive, temporary consumption.

That and he definetely wasn't expecting the backlash to be as big as it was

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (4 children)

That and he definetely wasn't expecting the backlash to be as big as it was

FUCKING HOW?

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

FUCKING HOW?

He's a fucking idiot that's convinced he's smarter than everyone else.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

And is on Ketamine and probably cocaine.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

Living in an echo chamber can make one pretty deaf to life's real problems.

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Honestly? I think he was on cocaine or something at that moment, sure looked like it.

[–] unphazed@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It's rumored to be ketamine. As in, he loves the stuff.

[–] Tryenjer@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Most likely Musk was testing the waters, but there's also a high probability that he's just plain stupid, after all, this is the same guy who pretended to be the best PoE2 player by paying others to play the game for him, only to then accidentally expose his own lie on a live stream.

Regardless of his reasons for making the gesture at that moment, taking into account his family history and the parties and people he supports, that gesture was without a shadow of a doubt a Nazi salute whose ideology he admires.

[–] joenforcer@midwest.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's pretty well-known (as he admitted on SNL in 2021) that Elon Musk has Asperger's Syndrome. This is evident in his inability to understand social cues and appropriate communication, his hardwired complete lack of empathy, and his strange and overpowering obsession with the letter X. He probably thinks he's being edgy or hilarious without understanding that there are social consequences for those things that he does not have the ability to comprehend in the moment. Even scarier, actually, if you look into the history of the man the condition was named for (Hans Asperger) and some of the things he was into... you know, like generic purity and being a Nazi.

[–] Tryenjer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I also have Asperger's syndrome, it's just the old name given to the condition of those who presented autism with the mildest symptoms of the spectrum, it doesn't take away my ability to know the meaning of a Nazi salute and what doing it represents, so I see no reason to excuse him because of that.
