Enough Musk Spam

2272 readers

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.

The platform was a news accelerator, a tool of mass harassment, and an infinite joke machine.

The project seems a little self indulgent: a bunch of terminally online columnists hyperbolizing at the importance and decline of Twitter.

But I did enjoy https://www.theverge.com/c/features/23997516/harassment-twitter-sarah-jeong-canceled-social-change

What in the good goddamn is that travesty of a website. Its like Web 1.0 written by doctor seuss. I kept expecting to scroll into an ad for Space Jam.

The colours, fonts, and pull quotes are awful. But aside from the entire aesthetic, it's pretty cool to see what you can do with CSS these days.

Awful layout... Some interesting stuff when you can actually find the articles though
