Hey everybody,
Due to the bombardment of Elon Musk content, the mods have decided to make a pinned mega thread. Please post all of your Elon Musk related news, gossip, technology and articles here.
We know many of you are deeply interested in Elon Must, but we need to allow space for other technology content as well.
As always, be excellent to each other.
Yours truly, moderators.
You must log in or register to comment.
This is the second tech community to do this in 2 days. The megathread in the other instance is already dead one day in. This stifles discussion, it does not just move it around.
To borrow from one of my comments over there: Nobody checks megathreads unless it’s an ongoing, high profile situation. I guarantee you this megathread is going to get essentially no engagement within 48 hours and now for some odd reason all news about SpaceX, Twitter, Tesla, and Musk, is functionally banned.
This is a terrible idea and I know every mod here knows this is functionally a ban. I can’t stand Musk but this is a really bad idea.
With all due respect - how much discussion about Elon can there really be? Maybe a couple of substack posts here and there to get more insight but realistically it’s just the same thing over and over again. Special man got mad and has been throwing a years long temper tantrum- decimating a company in the process. I don’t think that’s gonna change and I’m pretty tired of seeing him clog up my feed.
Just what Lemmy needs, a thread that kills engagement because megathreads don’t work. I know most of us don’t have apps with keyword filters yet (lifesaver), but I’d much rather have too much of something than not enough while trying to grow a community. Annoying growing pains over ghost town any day.

It’s been a week now and when you sort by active, surprise surprise, this is the top comment. Because literally no one uses this megathread, like a bunch of us predicted lol
