Since Elon Musk became Twitter’s CEO, he’s been pushing through a lot of changes to the social network. But perhaps…

      I can do you one better with a Tampermonkey script that will replace every reference to his name on every webpage to either “the biggest twat on the planet” or “this dipshit”, depending on which works better syntactically.

      // ==UserScript==
      // @name         Text Replace
      // @version      0.1
      // @description  Text Replace
      // @author       SiameseDream
      // @include     *
      // @grant        none
      // @namespace beepboop
      // ==/UserScript==
      
      (function() {
          'use strict';
      
      var replaceArry = [
          [/ Elon Musk/gi,' the biggest twat on the planet'],
          [/Elon Musk/gi,'The biggest twat on the planet'],
          [/ Mr. Musk/gi,' this dipshit'],
          [/ Musk/gi,' this dipshit'],
          [/Mr. Musk/gi,'This dipshit'],
          [/Musk/gi,'This dipshit'],
          // etc.
      ];
      var numTerms    = replaceArry.length;
      var txtWalker   = document.createTreeWalker (
          document.body,
          NodeFilter.SHOW_TEXT,
          {   acceptNode: function (node) {
                  //-- Skip whitespace-only nodes
                  if (node.nodeValue.trim() )
                      return NodeFilter.FILTER_ACCEPT;
      
                  return NodeFilter.FILTER_SKIP;
              }
          },
          false
      );
      var txtNode     = null;
      
      while (txtNode  = txtWalker.nextNode () ) {
          var oldTxt  = txtNode.nodeValue;
      
          for (var J  = 0;  J < numTerms;  J++) {
              oldTxt  = oldTxt.replace (replaceArry[J][0], replaceArry[J][1]);
          }
          txtNode.nodeValue = oldTxt;
      }
      })();
      
      

      In practice it looks like this

          There’s plenty of communities on Lemmy that don’t discuss Elon at all. Curate your own homefeed

            are there any communities that discuss technology advancements ? I can’t find any sub for technology enthusiasts.

            edit: ah gotcha you’re just telling him to go away while trying to sound reasonable.

    I’m dark mode everything, everywhere, but options are good and taking away options is bad. If people want to sear their retinas by using light mode, they should be able to.

      I use light mode because dark mode is far more likely to trigger migraines in me. This is legit an accessibility issue, and he fired the entire accessibility team.

        @stopthatgirl7 I also often use light mode on most websites. Since 2 years or so I started using dark mode on several applications or websites as well, but most dark modes suck. Some give me headache or burn my eyes.

        Taking the option is really an accessibility issue. Elon tries every trick under the sun to destroy the platform, in ways I could not imagine or forgot. I’m sure there will pop up addons for browsers at least to change the style. Everyone else, good luck.

          The thing is, I don’t think he’s deliberately trying to destroy the birdsite. He’s exhibiting the same mentality as the billionaire who got himself and a few others to die in a faulty submersible. He thinks he knows better than everyone but is completely out of touch from reality because his money usually shields him from consequences.

          Elon Musk is just an idiot. A useful idiot to those who fund him like the Saudis, but an idiot all the same.
