Striking at made-up enemies

Still tilting at windmills.

The only robots you can have are the ones approving that questionable drug, sorry

Closing down Nazi-Shitter-accounts is a win, though?

WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world on 11 Jun 11:28 next collapse

Not if they continue using the Nazi propaganda machine.

Well - NASA is going down in budgets basically everywhere. Sadly, this is mostly self-inflicted. A lot of NASA personnel are lifelong republicans (MSFC)

ohulancutash@feddit.uk on 11 Jun 11:51 next collapse

They’re still using the Nazi rockets so not really.

raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world on 11 Jun 15:16 next collapse

Unfortunately that is indeed the far bigger problem.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world on 11 Jun 16:12 collapse

Well yeah, it’s NASA.

Empricorn@feddit.nl on 11 Jun 12:25 collapse

Sure, if it continued communicating elsewhere. This is just going dark, right?

BossDj@lemm.ee on 11 Jun 14:10 next collapse

No, they are just consolidating down to a single twitter account so they can fire a communications person or two

Empricorn@feddit.nl on 11 Jun 15:25 collapse

That’s better than it going away completely, at least.

raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world on 11 Jun 15:16 next collapse

Unfortunaly, but a popular shitter-account closing if NASA losing budgets is inevitable, that’s still a tiny light in the dark.

Okay which of you space nerds wants to be a hero? This handle is going up for grabs on any fediverse instance. All you have to do is pull the latest from whatever nazi sewer it gets thrown into these days and post it verbatim.

It’s not impossible. You used to bulls-eye womp rats in your T-16 back home.

SchwertImStein@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 11 Jun 16:09 next collapse

I don’t understand

BakerBagel@midwest.social on 11 Jun 16:28 next collapse

They are gonna stip posting Curiosity specific updates to Twitter and fold it under the Mars umbrella account.

SchwertImStein@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 11 Jun 17:36 collapse

Why is it bad?

BakerBagel@midwest.social on 11 Jun 22:27 collapse

It’s just indicating NASA is dealing with budget cuts. It takes away another outlet for people to see the good work they do

Midnitte@beehaw.org on 11 Jun 17:37 collapse

The budget for posting Curiosity updates has been transferred to some rich dudes wallet.

ayyy@sh.itjust.works on 11 Jun 17:10 next collapse

Why is nasa still using a Nazi website?

HK65@sopuli.xyz on 11 Jun 20:47 next collapse

Because the nazis bought the government that owns nasa

stratoscaster@lemmy.world on 11 Jun 23:33 collapse

Because everyone does. NASA is apolitical, they just want science messaging to reach as many people as it can, which I agree with. Hell, if that meant posting on 4chan I’d agree with that lmao

I don’t understand. They are stopping posting in one channel in favor of posting on another. It just seems like a cleanup in diverse accounts to make it easier to follow nasa. It would be great if they moved to mastodon or any non-nazi channels, but the change in the tweet doesn’t look like much to me.
