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]

    Yes!

    Please yes.

    I’m tired of seeing the same story of that chode in six or seven different communities.

    I don’t think content should be banned on Lemmy just because some people are tired of it. But each instance can have its own rules of course.

      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.

      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 🙏
