Enough Musk Spam

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.

I had setup a bluesky account back when they opened it up however long ago, didn’t touch it much, then just randomly decided to start using it a little bit before the election because Lemmy felt like it was running dry. It definitely seems to be popping now, though I don’t understand much why people waited so long to leave X. X seems like it’s been a shithole for awhile, did people not see the writing on the wall this whole time, or did the right-wing BS reach a critical mass after the election?

It saw some big growth after Brazil banned twitter and network effects make platform changes take longer

I gave up on twitter when I couldn't stop being followed by no less than 3 thotbots a day.
