It should not be that surprising. Many teenagers are really smart, curious and will find their way here. That said I realise your warning is well intentioned; I hope Lemmy remains a more civil place than Reddit became over the last ten years, for everyone; teenagers included.

Same here: Deleted my 13y Reddit account along with every other US tech account except Google, as I need that for my livelihood.

Censorship wasn’t the motivation, I rather want to permanently remove my support for the US economy in any way possible, given the shocking geopolitical events of this year and the way they are treating Ukraine.

Besides, the Federverse feels like going back to the internet’s roots and I’m here for it!

Agreed, I despise Musk as much as any sane person does now, but I just can’t get on board with this prevalent behaviour of indiscriminately trashing everything everything about a person you don’t like.

Just be honest! He clearly has played a big part in achieving some spectacular results: Whether you think that was in engineering or cunning manipulation all the way up, the fact is SpaceX have achieved feats nobody else has, and I don’t believe it would have happened without Musk.

None of that changes the fact he is a cunt, but dishonesty in criticism only weakens it.
