For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

Also Reddit accelerating its decline, just to start... Basically all my preferred niches have turned into fragmented Discord black holes.
I know we're on a fediverse lifeboat here, but there are a lot of empty seats.
I think discord is the worst platform. It has the illusion of being free, but it's made by a for-profit business that has for-profit motives. The ads have only intensified since I started using it and like any product following the MBA line of thought, they need to gain critical mass before tightening down the screws of monetization.
I just despise the format and the intense engagement/attention optimization over just finding what you want. It buries information so you have to spend time in it.
