Mildly Infuriating

There isn't. The admins and mods are all in a discord server where we discuss shit and yet me tell you there is nor a pro Tesla agenda.

How does cancelling a pie order at delivery mean that you don’t pay? You try to cancel a dental appointment in less than 48hrs and you still get charged for that appointment

The story posted twice and removed by mods, were because he broke the rules. First he posted on c/technology when it has nothing to do with tech. Then he posted on c/news with a headline complaining that it was removed, where it's against the rules to change the headline. So this has nothing to do with being silenced, but everything to do with not respecting the subs he posted to.
The exact same article was posted again, but with correct headline, and has not been taken down.

Reason the thread complaining about the pie post being taken down was removed from this c:

reason: Using this instant as a platform for complaints against the actions of other mods

The top comment in that thread describes the reason it was removed originally.

A constant stream of meta whining sucks. Doesn't need to be some pro-Tesla conspiracy to dislike that.

The pie story kept getting removed because OP was posting it to irrelevant communities.

Hear me out. Perhaps it's a heavy handed mod or the community who is tired of Tesla posts full stop. Or Elon Musk posts, which tbh is kind of fair especially on places like the tech community. Musk does a lot of things to stay in the news cycle to stay relevant and a lot of people are fatigued about it.

That pie post is one post up from this one, on my feed......

Which instance are we talking about. Was this all on lenmyworld or elsewhere? Was it all in one community? Did it happen here?

I can't remember the last time I read a positive news story about Tesla. Maybe the mods simply just are tired of the contant spam about Elon's every single action.

This is entirely subjective - I haven’t gone around counting things up - but I’ve noticed both more pro-Tesla and pro-SpaceX posts and increased arguments on the anti-Musk posts. It seemed (on lemmy) to be coming from the same small number of accounts, so it could just be an enthusiastic handful of fanboys.

If one of them became a mod, that might explain it. They were very active in the Tesla and SpaceX subs with multiple articles posted within minutes of each other within the past couple of days.

That may be true but I'm in the market for a car right now and one thing Tesla cannot hide is how many used ones are for sale and how cheap they are compared to sticker price after a year or two.

he isn't just the biggest troll in history, he is also the idol of all other trolls

Tesla is a massive stock pumping Ponzi scheme that just happens to have a poorly ran car company attached to it. People need to realize what the goal of Tesla marketing is really about. It will be remembered as one of the great investment scams of our time.

I was driving around doing errands and passed by that pie place. I was all "Hey! Is that the famous pie place now?" Yup, sure enough. The shop was closer then I thought. Best of luck to them!

I remember modest coffee had something like that happen and bought a box of beans to help them out.

Dude it’s been going on for 10 years.

So normal internet marketing machine is working as planned?

Makes you wonder about times you have looked at reddit for a review of an item and haven't seen negative comments.
