“Enough musk spam!”

Also

“Let’s talk about nothing besides Elon musk!”

[-] key@lemmy.keychat.org 14 points 1 year ago

On reddit that subreddit was easily the source of 90% of the posts I'd see about Musk.

Also real annoying people are racing to make copies of every little subreddit VS letting lemmy be it's own thing. Guess they feel they gotta get there first so they can be the powermods.

I have to expect that such a community will contain enough Musk spam for its subscribers.

[-] p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 year ago

Funny, all of my echo chambers are shitting on Musk on a daily basis.

[-] Flicsmo@rammy.site 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, when I first saw the community name my first thought was that it was about being sick of the endless vitriolic spam towards him. I didn't even know there was 'worship' of him, much less to the point of feeling like spam - like you said, funny how echo chambers work.

[-] Fizz@lemmy.nz 1 points 1 year ago

People liked him up until a few years ago when he said he was conservative.

[-] p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

Well, it's more like all of the horrible decisions and broken promises he's made over the years.

[-] Fizz@lemmy.nz 0 points 1 year ago

Yeah but on reddit and in the news it was an overnight change. It was crazy to watch and must have been so vindicating for the enoughmuskspam squad.

[-] zeppo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

People liked him until he called the cave rescuer "pedo guy"... then won a lawsuit claiming the didn't really mean that, it's just a fun thing he and other kids used to call each other in South Africa.

These communities always ended up being the main source of ______ spam. Never knew if the intent was to contain content people didn't want to see to one community so people could block it, or people who didn't want to see yet were obsessed with _______ content.

[-] BB69@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Does it also provide a haven against people constantly being anti Musk? I’d prefer to see neither.

[-] sin_free_for_00_days@lemmy.one 10 points 1 year ago

About the only thing I miss here is RES. I had so many filters set up not to see anything from that shithead, it was great.

[-] NightOwl@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, would make it so lot of times didn't have to deal with community level blocking, since it'd be set to block out specific keywords.

[-] Fizz@lemmy.nz 1 points 1 year ago

It allows musk spam to go into that community then you can block it.

[-] niktemadur@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Posting anti-Musk spam = Posting Musk spam

[-] Thorny_Thicket@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 year ago

How some people can be so obsessed about one man is quite mind boggling. I would hardly know what he's up to if the people most opposed to him didn't keep me updated. Same goes with Trump.

A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

Rules

The rules may be more established as time goes on, but it's important to have a foundation to work on.

1. Follow the rules of Lemmy.world - These rules are the same as Mastodon.world's rules, which can be found here.

2. Include a community title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.

Formatting

Please include this following format in your post:

[link text](/c/community@instance.com)

This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won't

You should also include either:

!community@instance.com

or instance.com/c/community

FAQ:

Q: Why do I get a 404?

A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.

Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?

A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.
