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 have become the very thing you sought to destroy!

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.
I didn't see him until your post, so thanks.
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.
Well thanks I almost made it a day without. Then I saw your post.
You also lost the game.
Also the chicken game.
He was in Iron Man 2.
He popped in to ruin that too.
Even without musk it is still the worst iron man.
Mad at the quality of technology posts.
Makes another low quality post.
Yeah…
So you just made another one...
The Streisand effect, with less steps
In my experience the vast majority of posts about Elon Musk are from people who hate him and are tired of hearing about him.
When you rage about being stuck in traffic, then you realize….
Be the change you want to see in the world. You just posted about him.
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
Son of a ….
This is the Musk community. Haven’t you heard?
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.
Dude has made billions off being a professional lolcow. Can't stop now.
Are those serious? I thought they were the daily joke but not funny...
Yeah, ok, But I just heard Elon eats hot dogs on hamburger buns!
Feel free to downvote and ignore them. Presumably, the people who posted them thought that they were worthy, and I doubt their minds were changed by your non-argument here.
Well then dont use X
