For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

MODERATORS
If they want to sell ads in the EU yes they do have to moderate. They also have to be transparent about how they moderate (incidentally, lemm.ee just instituted a rule for mods saying that they need to provide clear and accurate reasons for their actions)
Neat. That has nothing to do with S 230 in the US.
That should not have to be a rule. Lemmy asks you for a reason when you delete a post or ban someone and you can't do it unless you type in that reason.
So lemm.ee must have some shitty mods who are typing in XXXX for the reason or something.
Dunno about lemm.ee mods never got into trouble there (we hardly have any communities in the first place TBH), but lemmy.ml mods could certainly use that kind of rule. No, "Rule #1" is not a clear and accurate reason when that rule is a nebulous "be nice" or something.
Yeah, that is a shitty way to moderate. I always try to make it clear what the violation is, especially if I need to point to a specific rule. For example, I had to remove a post from World News this morning because rule 1 says no U.S. internal news. So when I removed it, I put something like 'Rule 1: No U.S. internal news' as the reason. If nothing else, it cuts down on PM arguments someone might start. It even occasionally leads to a polite discussion where I've reversed the decision.
Just stumbled across this: lemm.ee's rule change was prompted by a particular incident. The reasoning is that modlogs are public so misstating reasons can be right-out libel.
