      Yeah, OP has made this post and one other comment…

      They could have posted anything else and been the change they wanted, now they’ll get notifications from people talking about the one thing they dislike enough to make a post?

      I’ll never understand the logic behind that shit, the last post was 13 hours ago, just make a different post instead of one complaining about every other posts.

        It’s a meta discussion about the direction they want the sub to take.

        Sitting down and discussing something that you don’t like, so you can avoid it more in the future, is not the contradiction so many people in this sub seem desperate to make it.

      Ha, my thoughts exactly. I’ve dipped out of Lemmy for a few weeks, just dipped back in today. “I wonder if it’s still wall to wall Musk?” I thought, logging in; and this was the first post I see.

        I just got into lemmy, and compared to reddit he seems refreshingly scarce here. Come to think of it so does Bonespurs.

          Their shills are less present here. These “influencers” spend good money on this engagement slop.

          Warren baffet too… Just endless fucking articles to generate “positive” engagement. I don’t get this daddy worship shit esp from adult men

    You can block posts by keywords, including Elon musk if you like

    Ex. Voyager, settings, filters and blocks, add a filter keyword

      sadly that’s an app-specific setting. if you use a different app or choose to access Lemmy via browser, your keywords won’t apply.

        lemm.ee##div.post-listing:has(span:has-text("/elon/i"))

        Put that into your uBlock Origin filters and change the instance to that of your own. Just keep in mind that this applies to usernames too.

    He’s one of the richest yet divisive billionaires in the world who is putting his foot in the door in regards to social network, electric cars, and space travel, what did you expect? “I want to know about technology, but I also want to ignore this huge elephant in the room shitting on me.”

      In my experience the vast majority of posts about Elon Musk are from people who hate him and are tired of hearing about him.
