Noel Reports:

A British Journalist asked Elon Musk:

“Has your ignorance and ego cost Ukrainian lives? Putin calls you outstanding, how would you call Putin?”

Musk refused to comment.

Yes, exactly. Trump cultivates followers with this same mentality.

That snivelling creep probably takes drugs to keep his mind from thinking about all the atrocities Russia has committed in Ukraine during his holy smo. Typical second class citizen turned into cannon fodder without him even noticing.

The ones at Reddit are easily followed without having an account and they have been around a long time. It would be nice if there were versions of all of them in the Fediverse, either lemmy.world or kbin.social.

This part of the Fediverse should have a sub entitled 12stepprogram4redditaddicts. To follow the conflict in Ukraine there are three reddit subs that are necessary and to do that right you need an account and the old reddit interface. The Lemmy sub Ukraine and several Mastodon accounts are the only alternatives I can find.

You mean doing this without having an account? and not using the old redit interface?

Yes. Poor Web Design, if any design at all. They can’t handle normal logins. I will just do without it. More time to spend on other things.

Thanks. I wouldn’t get near Google Chrome. I use Waterfox and sometimes Pale Moon and even more rarely Firefox.

Thanks but I just use a desktop to access Reddit. My cellphone does not have Internet access.

There aren’t any Reditors around here. It’s the Fediverse.

No more inane infinite cascading reply chains any more thankfully.

That’s news to me. Great that the links work for you! I’ll try again but am not hopeful. Great reading BTW; that fellow is a pistol.
