If lemmy had user-defined filters, I’d use them. Right now I’m downvoting the stuff, but there’s already a community for musk-related stuff: !EnoughMuskSpam@kbin.social

Yes!
Please yes.
I’m tired of seeing the same story of that chode in six or seven different communities.
Wait you mean you don’t want to hear the next pricing plan for twitter? Aren’t you a tech enthusiast???
As much as I enjoy watching the
worldXitter burn, there’s a limit to everything.
No, that would be beneficial for him and like-minded people. It creates a bubble around him where only his supporters know what’s going on.
Holy cow, this sounds like a moderation nightmare–glad I don’t have to do it! There’s no way you’re going to get through it without someone complaining about it.
In my mind, this is definitely something that individuals should address with blocks and filters. If those filters don’t exist, they should be written.
Some Lemmy apps have filters. I use Memmy for Lemmy and it has filters. That assumes you use your phone and not a browser.
I do use my browser.
Well the voyager browser app is great if it works for your instance. It has filter options as well.
Musk has already been banned as a topic on tech communities in 4 instances I’ve seen personally. I get folks are tired of him and I find him insufferable, but he is often relevant (unfortunately) to current events, so I don’t think wholesale bans of him are a good idea. There are plenty of topics I find annoying, but I don’t tell people to ban the topic from the community just for my personal preference.
Like I think trump is a cringe inducing piece of shit and don’t enjoy seeing him everywhere. I’d love a filter, I don’t expect communities to ban him as a topic.
I don’t think content should be banned on Lemmy just because some people are tired of it. But each instance can have its own rules of course.
The whole point of having communities is to establish a focus of discussion. You wouldn’t come in here to talk about flower arranging.
I came to Lemy for LESS moderation and MORE free speech. Nimby.
