    It is still a pretty dumb strategy to criticize an oligarch on their own platform. They could even edit the words he said and there’s nothing you can do.

      Kind of line when /u/spez edited comments of users calling attention to systemic issues on reddit?

        What?

        He went on Trump’s sub and tried to get them to like him by editing their comments…

        If that’s what you mean. Weird way to phrase it.

          Still a shitty thing to do. As a site admin for millions of people, that person has an ethical and potentially legal obligation to not touch the internal database.

          If he did it to those users, who else’s comments did he edit?

      It’s a good way to demonstrate that those ‘free speech absolutists’ are always full of shit. They just want to be able to say the N-word again, and they’ll absolutely continue to do everything to suppress your speech, especially if it’s something that threatens their money.

        This doesn’t need demonstrating as most people have known that these fascist assholes are massive hypocrites for a long time.

        They don’t care that you notice. They’re just gonna keep doing it anyway.

        They want it to be okay to say the N-word in public again. They’ve absolutely still been saying it; they just don’t want to be ostracized for doing so.

      I get the impression these people thought they were one of the good ones. Conspiracy theorist trumper should be able to be honest with their close friend Elon Musk. What they didn’t realize is that they are just a cog in Musk’s wheel. Any cog showing signs of resistance will just be replaced without a second though.

      Yes, pretty dumb all around, but I am glad there are journalists documenting things like this. Musk’s empire needs to come down.

      Seriously. These people deserve this the same way that if this was 1995 and they fueded with the guy that owns the local newspaper, it wouldn’t go well for them either.

      What TF did they expect? Such delicate snowflakes.
