I definitely wouldn't have thought to label him terrible. Just emotionally delicate enough to not be able to handle dissenting opinions and harboring a sense of powerlessness that has made him want to create an environment where he gets to control the people that try to participate.

Lemmy is too small to be a worthwhile target for musk-like campaigns. It's usually just people escaping their echo chambers to get their rage fix. If you're able to think for yourself, there's really no negative impact and scrolling past is a great solution.
There doesn't seem to be any actual record of this being tweeted.
I'd say that's on you, there's more places to not be found than there are discoverable locations on the earth. Proper planning prevents poor performance and all that.
Anyone can already euthanize themselves. We're all just a helium or nitrogen tank and trash bags away from our exit stage right.
I know it shouldn't but your experience made me laugh. Not satire, indeed :)
