If lemmy had user-defined filters, I’d use them. Right now I’m downvoting the stuff, but there’s already a community for musk-related stuff: [email protected]

    I think anything “musk did/said ABC” should be banned. Reading news about SpaceX or whatever else Musk owns that’s technology related is fine IMO, but the constant “Musk this” and “Musk that” just makes me downvote or at “worst” unsub.

    Regarding Twitter, if lemmy had filters, I’d block all of that too. However I can see that it has some influence on people and would be fine treating it as an exception to the muskysphere as long as it doesn’t contain “Musk” in the title.

    My 2 cents. Thank you for considering the ban 🙏

      As long as people report, and if I notice that kind of Elon Musk paparazzi gospel crap, it will be removed as long as I stay mod. Active during Indian timezone. I do try complain about Lemmy’s mod tools occasionally, because that and some form of CSAM filtering are key concerns now that platform is steadily growing.

      incoming rant

      Usually an active and reasonable mod tries finding the “moderate” balance on posting and discourse, but they are rare nowadays. I am not spez or a typical reddit mod “mod”. I was born out of the community if that makes any sense, so I am handling the privacy and tech sublemmys for a good while, cushioning the impact of Lemmy adopters.

        Thank you for your service 🫡

        Would you mind adding the “no musk spam” rule?
