Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Rookie numbers by American standards. And where's the immediate search for an uninvolved scapegoat?

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

They'd mostly do the same here, outside of a handful of particularly horrible Musks. Sorry, people*

Stepping down isn't much of a punishment, they get to remove themselves from the aftermath.

Why can't I kill 80 people and say sorry guys I'm stepping down, have fun!

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 36 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Taking responsibility, cool. But isn't it also kind of fucking off and letting someone else clean the mass?

He's staying on in an executive roll in order to handle the fallout and compensation, actually.

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

CEO's get all the benifits and 0 repurcussions for their decisions. 80 people died and now I get to remove myself the situation at hand?

That is some grade A BULLSHIT
