MODERATORS
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 🙏
Thank you for your service 🫡
Would you mind adding the "no musk spam" rule?
when you do, another thanks for the mod job & also handling this: your outlook & response is the reason this is already better than That Other Place 👍✌️
Well-worded! Thank you 🙏
For me it’s the difference between a statements and events. If Musk just says something it’s generally worthless drivel, but if Tesla engineers a new battery pack or gets targeted by a lawsuit then it’s something worth knowing.
