Elon Musk threatens to sue Anti-Defamation League over lost X revenue - Feddit UK

Nothing says “free speech absolutism” like filing another SLAPP against an organisation whose speech you don’t like. https://www.techdirt.com/2023/08/01/free-speech-absolutist-elon-musk-files-obvious-slapp-suit-against-non-profit-critic/ [https://www.techdirt.com/2023/08/01/free-speech-absolutist-elon-musk-files-obvious-slapp-suit-against-non-profit-critic/]

Shouldn't the goal of the mag be to avoid mentioning EM at all and not posting this shit?

Read the sidebar. The point of this community is to counter the Elon stans who worship him and instead post things critical of him (so based in reality).

which made sense, on reddit...

But I don't see the blind devotion to EM here so it lacks any purpose other than "We had this on reddit, so we have to have it here."

Why would you expect the purpose of the community to change if it’s description hasn’t changed? What would be the purpose of a community that’s purpose was to post anything as long as musk isn’t mentioned in it? He’s still got plenty of people who want him to buy them a horse and they’ll eventually show up on the fediverse too.
