      I mean, women and non-whites vote republican, so I don’t put a ton of stock into what the numbers say. I’m sure Florida or Texas could pass a vote re-establishing slavery, but that doesn’t mean the people are right.

      Just because an article involves a tech company doesn’t mean it’s about technology. Twitter losing ad revenue because it’s owner is a nazi is not about technology; it’s about marketing, finance, and politics.

      It would be nice if this community didn’t devolve into a Musk news feed like it did on Reddit.

        Just because an article is about a tech company doesn’t mean it’s about technology. Correct.

        This community is called “technology”. Also correct.

        But people can post what they want and upvote what they want. So if this is what they want, then they aren’t wrong. Look at “trees”. Not a single damn tree in the whole place.

        I really do recommend starting a community called techWithoutMusk and moderating it how you like. I’m sure a bunch of people would join. Or become a mod here, and change what people can vote on.
