  • I can’t understand why some Lemmy users feel the need to invent new things the tankies might say or do. It reminds me of American MAGA folk: they take a perceived problem, vastly magnify it by fabricating further falsehoods, then engage in a circle jerk where they all seem to feel superior for identifying this massive problem that they largely imagined up.

    I suppose it’s a lazy way to get easy engagement, but it’s dishonest and gross. Let tankies be accountable for what they actually do, lying about them makes you just as bad.

    Edit: I didn’t notice at first, but of course it’s YeetPics, the alt of PugJesus, one of the .world tankie rabble rousers. Check their post history, they seemingly just can’t stop talking about tankies. Maybe it’s a kink?












  • They did not state or imply that Boeing was the only company to fix a hardware issue via a software update, nor did they state or imply that doing so is an inherently dangerous or bad idea.

    The verifiable context was simply that Boeing, a disreputable company, also attempted to correct a hardware issue with a software update. One might infer that the OP could be suggesting this instance may be bad given Boeing’s failure at doing so combined with Tesla’s dubious reputation due to its association Elon Musk, a demonstrably unethical person, and its record of vehicular build quality issues. Claiming the comment suggests ALL efforts to do so are INHERENTLY bad or dangerous cannot be supported without additional information from the OP, though, so criticisms to that effect rely on pure speculation.
