Starship launch tomorrow though, wouldn't want to miss out on hype because of something titled "Elon Musk's Starship Rocket" etc... I'm a big space nerd and while Elon is a dork this rocket will be a massive leap for everything space related if it works out.

Fuck X/Twitter though, sick of hearing about it for sure. I've heard rumours that SpaceX only does as well as they do because they have Shotwell running the show and they have Elon wranglers to keep him away from anything important...

Thanks for sharing. Feel free to blame Musk. He’s the one who renamed it to X, which is impossible to filter out.

You could filter out Twitter and realistically filter out a large chunk of them. Shit's usually referred to "X, formerly known as Twitter..." in most posts I see.

Could just make a lemmy-wide rule to always deadname it in post titles. But good luck with that since people still won’t put it all in enoughmuskspam.

Pretty much, that’s my policy anyway. People still tweet there too, none of this “posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.” Fucker trying to use up more characters everywhere.

There's no such thing as a lemmy-wide rule

No shit, dumbass, I meant a voluntary one, not one enforced by programmatic rules.

Why so mean?

Some of you are just too exhausting and don’t use your brains before correcting people.

Maybe you should use yours to specify before you post? Communication goes both ways, if you frequently encounter this problem then you're likely to be the issue.

I don’t frequently encounter it myself, I read it entirely too much on others’ posts. The context clue provided was saying good luck with it since people still won’t put all Musk posts in enoughmuskspam. There’s no lemmy-wide rule about that either. Now beat it, stop bothering me with your nonsense.

I only reply when you do mate

(Ok, now I'm just being petty... I'll stop haha)

You chose to reply and the last two times you chose to ask dumb questions which imply that you want a response, so I provided them. Enjoy this block, that’ll take care of it from my end.

Oh shit, I replied to this guy again lol

Meaning?

I got the exact same reply from someone last week, not exactly a discussion starter. So I was curious and sure enough it's the same guy!

However you did edit in some context here and indeed that's the problem with trying to filter out a single letter keyword... Though I doubt Elon had the sense to do it intentionally.

I also quote Bartles & Jaymes on occasion.

edit: the funny part here is that I haven’t said “Thanks for sharing” that much, it’s fairly new. And I don’t remember usernames, so the fact you’ve gotten it twice already is special.

Right? Maybe you've been inspired to do so by my rambling comment style. Which itself may be inspired by the fact that I'm drinking beer in the bath.
