Expecting this article to get flag-killed, as all politically-inclined submissions critical of Elon seem to be these days.
- jonas21 2y agoAll politically-inclined submissions supportive of Elon are also quickly flag-killed. Perhaps it's for the best.
- giraffe_lady 2y ago> Perhaps it's for the best. It is not. We bear a lot of the responsibility for creating this situation, we shouldn't be able to just turn away from it now that it ended up where it was always going to.
- anon7000 2y agoIt's definitely very political. But also very relevant to us, because Elon is applying tech business practices to the federal government. Move fast & break things (great for R&D, awful for organizations that are supposed to be stable), mass-layoffs (and subsequently re-hiring after you figure out what broke), thinking that there's no value in the legacy systems (and not keeping anyone around who might have known that), etc. It's important for us to realize that while tech has been an economic powerhouse, our culture and management practices aren't all good. Esp when it comes to tech CEOs who have been very successful, have a big ego, and think they can do better at anything.
- someothherguyy 2y agoEspecially technology CEOs of long term unprofitable companies that were propped up to succeed by government programs favoring research and development. Now that they have a place in the market, it is time to remove those programs for everyone else who may attempt to compete.
- jauntywundrkind 2y ago> All politically-inclined submissions supportive of Elon are also quickly flag-killed. Funny, I haven't seen anything remotely commendable about Elon get submitted in months. Doesn't seem like a real issue.
- CalRobert 2y agoKnow a good alternate platform? I’m all ears.
- blueflow 2y agoYou could go to reddit or the fediverse.
- justin66 2y ago> fediverse Is that suggestion ever made unironically?
- darknavi 2y agoI use Lemmy which is a halfway decent Reddit drop in these days. It is not politically diverse though.
- qwerpy 2y agoReddit is definitely a better place for the overly emotional/political comments that come up here, but it’s very one-sided. A good or bad thing depending on your side.
- unethical_ban 2y agoThere was an article a while back about using HN as an IdP. I've thought about setting up a society-politics forum using HN as identity.
- UncleOxidant 2y agoI just saw a thread of several comments here completely disappear - I was in the middle of replying to one of them.
- MyOutfitIsVague 2y agoThe vast majority of politically-inclined submissions get killed in general. A lot of people just flag politics.
- lostdog 2y agoMost articles about politics are boring or repetitive, and should be flag killed and discussed elsewhere. I have plenty of other places where I can read the regular news.
