Enough Musk Spam

2203 readers

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.

I’m heavily invested in sports. Literally everything when it comes to my team gets posted there first. There’s just no other way to get the content.

I suppose I could visit 20 pages a day and be on the lookout, but I’d miss the most interesting things, the discussion. Unfortunately they only happen there.

I can imagine many are in my situation, but with other hobbies.

Same here. I curate the shit out of my feed so it’s only sports. The people I follow the second any start getting political I block them.

Don't worry, musk has floated taking away the block feature, soon there will be no way to avoid the politics and just focus on what you love.

You will see the hate, you will see the anger, you will engage. Resistance is futile

Meh. I’ll just leave at that point… my team’s news will make its way to me eventually

I wonder how much you could move those feeds to RSS.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I could move most news to RSS, but that would also mean an overflow of news and getting the same tidbit from 15 outlets. But regardless, so much of the great content and thoughts is user based. And that content I couldn’t get through RSS. And in all honesty, that content is much more interesting and valuable.

@hansl @Mesaji @ribboo 90% of my internet consumption is via RSS.
