    “Enough musk spam!”

    Also

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

      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.

      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.

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

          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.

            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.

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

    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.

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

        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.

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

    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.
