Like cmon we want to see more tech posts, but the only posts we’re seeing is about elon musk and it’s non worthy posts.

      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.

          Though, it does help to make a good faith effort to add content you’d like to see more of

            Agreed. It could absolutely be that this person just likes to complain. But this whole “talking about banning things you don’t thing belong in this community is really just talking about it too” is a ridiculous “gotcha.”

    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.

          This looks like a nice web interface like Voyager. I hate it when you are forced to install an app to use what’s literally capable within a modern web browser

      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

            A coworker actually referred to trump as daddy once. Out of dead silence, he said to another coworker, “You know, daddy is gunna be in the area soon.” I continued to evesdrop, as I wanted to hear who coworker #2 thought of as ‘Daddy’ with no context. He hesitantly said the names of a few managers in confusion, and the first guy corrected him and mentioned it was the former president.

    Makes another low quality post.

    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.”

    Pretty sure people have said the same thing about all the ultra rich in every generation. I’m just hoping that Musk goes the way of Howard Hughes

    Same. At least Bonespurs will probably soon have his final Big Mac Attack and the news will be all about MAGA self destructing as the hangers-on claw each other to pieces to get on top. Musk has a lot more years left in him. His smartest move would be to announce that he’s trans and make social media implode like a supermassive black hole.
