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]

      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 🙏
