Reddit does something similar in some way but not like this.
I often save links to posts from Reddit in my Obsidian note app. Just copying the link marks it that you shared the link and artificially increases stats in that manner.

#382I've been a long-time Twitter user. I don't hate Elon, so when he bought it I was cautiously optimistic. I deactivated last week. The platform is bad and getting worse. It's scammy and spammy. Everything is designed around garbage engagement, so that the X team can brag about how good the product is doing.
It's a full PvP server now. Old Social media outrage algos + paying people for posts further broke it

#384I stopped using Twitter somewhere around the time of Musk takeover. Only used it for event coverage live during events for which I found it genuinely useful at some point and of course doomscrolling. Can't say I miss it. Its like nothing changed in my life. I also managed to miss the LGBT exodus after Musk policy changes and learned about it later at a random FOSDEM talk. Global "social" feeds do everything in their…
A lot of teachers also stopped using it around the same time. This was unfortunate as it was an amazing source for project ideas for students.

Given how much he contributed to the election outcome it hardly seems tired to blame him for the consequences. Plus he's on Twitter every week publicly discussing how much he uses the platform to put his thumb on the scale of discourse towards his personal beliefs. In what world is he not involved?
The consequences of blocking a CR?
The consequences of the 2024 election in which he played a significant role. This "budget debacle" is a direct consequence.
Also, Elon has weighed in quite aggressively on prior budgetary fights, so it would be crazy to say his influence isn't being felt here. https://thehill.com/policy/technology/5046887-elon-musk-slam...

I just tried to find AI starter packs on BlueSky and confirmed that BlueSky is openly hostile to AI. I understand the reasons, it's just not where I'm at. I'll try Threads and see what happens.
I can't vouch for these, but they seem like reasonable starting points. I searched for "AI starter pack" with the quotes. https://bsky.app/starter-pack-short/LFAZcGE https://bsky.app/starter-pack/maosbot.bsky.social/3l3ix4wi64...
Thank you. I did follow one of those using the same search without the quotes and followed. And your second one now. I'm also cleaning up my X site to get rid of anything not AI so I can do a fair comparison.

Going to the moon was, at the very least, demonstrated as technologically possible in the 1960s, and you can literally go watch a Starship launch if you want. I have a very hard time putting it in the same "entirely prospective" category as androids, self-driving taxis, and Mars bases.
The moon is orders of magnitude more difficult to land on than launching a LEO satellite.
And that'd be a great point if we didn't already do it six times with slide rules in the 1960s.

I don't know if supporting a country currently engaging in genocide is the trump card you think it is.

> If Israel wanted to commit genocide in Gaza, it would be over in an afternoon.
Not if they want to still deny that it's occurring.
> They certainly wouldn’t be supplying them groceries and electricity.
Auschwitz provided both of those things to prisoners.

"Similar" is not same. I watched the videos. There are ones where Warren does a "ramp" motion, AOC is just waving, etc. If you only look at freeze frames, you can claim whatever you want, but a stiff-armed Nazi salute is a specific motion of the arm, not a freeze frame.
If he wanted to do one, he would. Additionally, there are right wing groups that use the gesture. This just isn't a case of that. We need to learn to differentiate.
Musk definitely did several nazi salutes. Even did it with flourish like the hitler videos. Pretending otherwise makes you look like a sympathizer or a fool. Sorry.
