        Im just joking my dude, although yes spacex is a very shitty company that keeps pumping the atmosphere and geo orbit full of garbage for no good reason. Everyone involved in greenlighting starlink should be in prison.

          If only it were that simple.

          Even as king douche uses it to play politics, starlink is instrumental to the defense of Ukraine.

          That’s like saying you can’t like EAs games because the company sucks.

          You can boycott a product for good reasons, even as the product itself is amazing.

            moth doesn’t like EA games because the company sucks. that’s how reality works. when a company sucks, their products suck. and I’ve seen enough SpaceX rockets built by Elon Hitler explode to know they suck. the product, as you said, isn’t amazing.

            that’s what happens when you outsource space exploration to a for-profit company that will cut corners by cutting costs, instead of keeping the design and manufacture of rockets to the highly qualified scientific organizations who have always been at the very forefront of exploration and discovery. these people do not care about making good rockets, they care about making cheap rockets that will win them juicy government contracts.

                moth wonders why you are here instead of twitter if you like low quality things made by nazis so much.

                  I’m here setting up and moderating over a dozen art communities around things I like because reddit deserves to be boycotted.

                  The average person won’t be doing that without an alternative to switch to, so I’m trying to be part of creating that alternative.

                  You know. Facilitating the nuances of how actual change happens, instead of just shouting at people for liking things.

                  I would never go back on reddit and condescend-comment at people for liking things because they are doing so on a platform that needs to go.

                  That’s not productive. It motivates no-one and if anything, makes us here on the alternatives seem really fucking un-inviting.

                  Speaking of which, I don’t think I want you here.

                  Bye.
