Mate I dislike JS as much as anyone but there's no need to bring it in here.

It should not be that surprising. Many teenagers are really smart, curious and will find their way here. That said I realise your warning is well intentioned; I hope Lemmy remains a more civil place than Reddit became over the last ten years, for everyone; teenagers included.
Same here: Deleted my 13y Reddit account along with every other US tech account except Google, as I need that for my livelihood.
Censorship wasn't the motivation. Rather; I'm withdrawing my support for the US economy in any way possible, given the shocking geopolitical events of this year and the way they are treating Ukraine.
Besides, the Federverse feels like going back to the internet's roots and I'm here for it!
Agreed, I despise Musk as much as any sane person does now, but I just can't get on board with this prevalent behaviour of indiscriminately trashing everything about a person who you don't like.
Just be honest! He clearly has played a big part in achieving some spectacular results: Whether you think that was in engineering, or by cunning manipulation all the way up; the fact is SpaceX have achieved feats nobody else has, and I don't believe it would have happened without Musk.
None of that changes the fact he is a cunt, but dishonesty in criticism only weakens it.
Interesting you say that. I loved District 9 then the next thing I saw from him was 'Oates Studios' shorts; which turned me right off the guy. Billed as post apocalyptic stories... But it was more like strong shock/gore/horror stuff which just seemed to go for straight up nastiness with no decent story, message or social commentary that I could discern. Just seems like the product of a fevered mind making horrible imagery for the sake of it. Not for me, and I'm not sure who it would be for really. Nothing positive at all.
I don't think I'll watch another thing by him. Really disappointing since District 9 was fantastic.
