    …Seriously?

    This guy has no leg to stand on; that’s the Mildly Infuriating part.


    EDIT: Am I the only one on Lemmy who discounts the whole post the moment I see a blue checkmark?

    Especially this one. It’s so hypocritical it hurts.

      Don’t discount the message though. After all we’re interacting with a screenshot of a tweet. It doesn’t make me a fan of this guy.

      I think other people can buy the blue checkmark for you on twitter, though my information may be faulty.

      In any case, just cause he gave money to that ass wipe Elon doesn’t mean that his analogy isn’t valid, just a little “leopards ate my face” kinda deal.

        Well, he tweets many times a day, many posts like this:

        …Seems like a “Tech Bro” Silicon Valley type to me. He’s just engagement farming; I don’t care what he says, there nothing valid about that.

        In fact, I’d wager some of those posts are automated.

        I think twitter also might still give blue check marks to “important” people it’s just available for anyone to buy now

      You either do it, or someone else will do it and start impersonating you. People with any kind of public/online presence sorta have to unfortunately.
