A similar thing happened with one of my favourite podcasts: Tech Won’t Save Us. They just started crowing about what a craven loser Elon Musk was at every opportunity. And it really sucked all the life out of the podcast for me. Like it used to be super interesting, well researched, broad, hopeful; and suddenly it seemed to only be about dunking on billionaires.
Which, deserved. But I don’t want to hear about Musk’s stupid machinations while I’m doing food prep. I want to hear about something cool, like collective action in India.
Maybe I’m in the minority though. Or maybe it’s gotten better by now. Idk
I think they’ve just had the IPO, that’s why we see it. But I wouldn’t worry in the long term unless something major happens, but that applies to any major social media.
God, please don’t turn Lemmy into “haha reddit stock goes down” literally any time their stock fluctuates.

Right, if all you talk about is the shit Elon is doing, you’re really no better than a fanboy of his.
