  • @JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.catoNews@lemmy.world•Musk attacks the Musk Watch DOGE Tracker

    Lol, that’s some real convoluted copism you have going on there.

    A. musk’s “yup” was an amplification of the xit attacking the article in question. That makes it an attack. That’s how xitter works.

    B. The point is that DOGE is the epitome of inefficiency. It’s cutting too much while the results are too little.

    C. musk’s xit attack got >19k re-xits and >200k licks (xit-lickers gotta lick) causing us to see this. What’s the responsibility of all the xit-lickers? How is that a little thing being made into a big deal?

    D. Even if the title is hyperbolic (which I don’t agree it is) 15 people on lemmy upvoting it to fight the fascist tyranny and lies spouted by musk and his xit-minions doesn’t “need to stop”. He needs to be kept in ckeck and that can’t be done on platforms owned by billionaires. If nothing else, it’s important to spread the word that musk is unable to understand the concept that something can be both too much and too little. What a genius.

    It doesn’t matter what it stands for. That’s not how acronyms work.

    You don’t say “yolwa” for “YOLO”
    You don’t say “Ah-ih-dees” for “AIDS”
    You don’t say “britches” for “BRICS”
    You don’t say “sue-knee” for “CUNY” (City University of New York) Etc.

    And if you want to argue specifically about G:
    You don’t say “Jad” for “GAD” (generalized anxiety disorder)
    You don’t say “joes” for “GOES” (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite)

    It’s not a hill I’m going to die on, I use both pronunciations, but the only argument I’ve ever believed for the proper one is that the creator pronounced it “jif”. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIF#Pronunciation

    Now let’s talk about “gibs” you heathens.
