Hey everybody,
Due to the bombardment of Elon Musk content, the mods have decided to make a pinned mega thread. Please post all of your Elon Musk related news, gossip, technology and articles here.
We know many of you are deeply interested in Elon Must, but we need to allow space for other technology content as well.
As always, be excellent to each other.
Yours truly, moderators.
You must log in or # to comment.
Ah yes let’s bury all discussion of anything relating to any of those companies. 😒
“Megathread” for one of the 25 Technology magazines on this site doesn’t really work. That concept might work on Reddit but it really doesn’t work here with all of the tech forums being so distributed. There can’t be common sizing of rules unfortunately. I’m still scrolling past dozens of the same article, or 6 other megathreads for the same topic.

Such a great way to condense content.
Definitely the best way to handle all this.
In X-related news: X Japan just released their first single in 8 years!
This seems like a very poor decision. Just create a limit of 1 article per discrete Twitter topic. It’s obvious that the users want to discuss the Twitter trainwreck, just as it’s obvious that a substantial number of users are also tired of hearing about it.
I think we’d agree that free reign to post as much about Twitter as you’d like would be over the top, but I think a mega thread like this is too far in the other direction. The compromise position here is fewer articles, not none at all.
I appreciate that it’s difficult to steward a community like this as moderators. It needs a guiding hand to stay on topic and not devolve into just spam about a single topic. At the same time, too firm of a hand will too heavily restrict topics, and people will leave for greener pastures if they don’t find the available topics interesting.
(Sorry if this is the wrong place, I looked for an option to directly message the moderation team but couldn’t find one.)
Someone at Verizon is already planning to buy it from Elmo…
Yea this aint gonna fix people from making their own posts about it anyways…

What is this community for exactly? Is it for technology? Because I don’t really see many (if at all) posts about technology. Just complaining/dooming about big tech companies/people who run said companies.
I’ve never missed my Apollo filters more than when I see all these Elon Musk/Twitter/X ragebait posts.
Memmy has Apollo-esque filters!
I’m on Kbin 🙁
Why are so many people opposing this mega thread? Why do they care so much what “daddy” elon fucks do? Its unbelievable to me

Informative, to the point, with just a little bit of sass on the tail-end there. Well done PopBobert. No sarcasm.

With all due respect - how much discussion about Elon can there really be? Maybe a couple of substack posts here and there to get more insight but realistically it’s just the same thing over and over again. Special man got mad and has been throwing a years long temper tantrum- decimating a company in the process. I don’t think that’s gonna change and I’m pretty tired of seeing him clog up my feed.
Filter it out?
No need. It’s been helpfully filtered out thanks to a megathread.

To me the issue is that I want to see what new shenanigans Musk made, but I don’t want a bazillion posts about the same hijinks.
Huh
People are obsessed with Elon musk
It’s more that people enjoy schadenfreude.
The twitter/musk posts are getting large amount of upvotes so just figured that’s why people keep posting.
