    A while back I saw a post on Shittit (Reddit) on r/fuckcars supporting “peaceful protestors” burning Tesla cars. Not only the OP but all the comments were supportive of it and encouraged that behaviour. I get the whole hating Musk thing, I hate him too. I started to see his real self when he did the bitcoin pump-and-dump in 2021, I lost a considerable amount of money because of him. Before that event I saw him kind of an revolutionary business man. Since that event I just him as a grifter lookong for new ways to earn more and more money. So anyway back to point, posts like this make the average joe who doesn’t know much about fuckcars movement think they are “extremists” advocating for violence against car owners and their vehicles. I hate Musk, but I don’t support and advocate for burning of innocent people’s hard earned car. Tesla is still considered a “premium car”, many people buy it on monthly installments. Imagine buying your dream car on installment and some random wacko set it on fire just because the guy behind the company started supporting the other party. Before the Trump-Musk relationship, Tesla used to be a “liberal” car since it was electric and liberals love EV’s. Deciding to turn against the car company you once loved and to the point to setting innocent people’s cars on fire is just ridiculous! And also, I saw a lot of “jealousy” and “sourness” towards car owners in r/fuckcars. Things like these made me avoid the whole movement.

    This WILL be the fate of EVERY alternative social media platform. Part of Fediverse or not. As all alternate social media platforms birth from some sort of protest/activism/boycott, the best example is how Shittit (Reddit) API changes gave birth to Shitmmy (Lemmy) and Deadbin (Mbin). Alternate platforms usually give space to de-platformed individuals. In the past Alt social medias gave space for the far right and alt-right, now it’s far left and alt-left. Nothing different. Just look at what shitshow is going on in Shitsky (Bluesky) and Shitlight social (Skylight social)! Every post is “Orange man bad!”, “MAGA Bad!”. I gave Shitlight social a try and couldn’t stand it! The folks there are chronically online and so deluded that they think everyone is MAGA, like there was a video where a young 11 year girl drove her parents car to the supermarket to buy something and crashed the car into the supermarket, the comments were like “The parents are Trump supporters!”. I was like WTF! There was no media coverage of this incident (at the point when the video was made), the video was filmed by someone inside the supermarket, no other context, no nothing! And those deluded foids were screaming “Her parents are Trump supporters!” without even knowing the girl’s name! To them everyone is a Trump supporter. Every alt media platform will become like this- filled with individuals on the extreme sides of the political spectrum. No alt media platform will reach mainstream status including the ones on Shitiverse (Fediverse).
