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 ~~world~~ Xitter burn, there’s a limit to everything.
I agree, but only restrict the news if it mentions Musk, not just one of his companies. For example, SpaceX does interesting stuff, and to be honest operates mostly independently of him these days.
Technology is technology, no matter which asshole owns the company.
I agree.
Breaking News: Elon Musk announces new X laundry service!
"It's the laundry service of the future! Only requires a recurring subscription of $49.99! (shipping fees not included) Mail us your laundry!!!"
They'll use spaceX drones instead of mail
You can get drone service as an add on for only an additional $89.99 a month! Don't be left in the past! Start your X laundry service today! IT'S THE LAUNDRY OF THE FUTURE! PAY ME NOW YOU PEONS!!!
Yes please. None of those have anything to do with technology. I want to see some PM-esque posts in here.
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.
They're not asking for it to be banned from the instance, or from Lemmy entirely; they just want it to be moderated out of this community.

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 think if it's actually related to tech it's fine. For example, I read an article from DHH talking about how Musk's strategy has saved money by moving from Cloud to on-prem and doing it cut massive costs.
I think that'd be okay?
That’s not “musk’s strategy” though. That’s just common knowledge. If you change your own brakes, it’s cheaper than at the dealership. If you run your own servers, it’s cheaper than in the cloud. The reason people choose the cloud is either they don’t want to, or can’t, run their own server farm.
If you run your own servers, it’s cheaper than in the cloud. The reason people choose the cloud is either they don’t want to, or can’t, run their own server farm.
Generally speaking, if it wasn't cheaper for them to use the cloud, they probably wouldn't. Owning infrastructure comes with costs that amortize better at scale. If infrastructure is not a big cost in serving your customers, then it's probably cheaper to rent.
There are some costs that are cheaper when you go to the cloud because of scale. Things like bandwidth, redundancy, and physical security. But they are massively offset by how expensive renting the hardware is. I can rent a server for $500/month that I could build for $3,000-$4,000. That's 6-8 months before I'm in the red with the cloud. Think about those costs over one server's lifetime (roughly 5 years, depending on your needs). That's $26,000 over 5 years, or $5,200 per year extra, for one server. If your company is using 10 servers (assuming your costs scale linearly at this point), that's $52,000 per year, rather than just running a couple fiber lines into your office. And that's a small company.
So yeah, it's more expensive to go with the cloud, almost always. But yes, the cloud gives you benefits. This is pretty common knowledge in the industry, and musk didn't come up with the idea of bringing services on-site.

That seems like "business" more than technology
Ah you broke my heart. Clear indication that I'm drifting more into management every day :(

Some people like the antics of Bozo the Clown. I enjoy the antics of Stammering Elon.
I love to watch expensive garbage burn.
Watching Twitter burn to the ground along with Musk's reputation is highly entertainment.

That post timing lol https://i.imgur.com/U1ystUX.png
It does seem like there should be filters, though. That seems like a pretty important feature.
Yes please. My downvote finger is getting sore.
I don't realistically expect such ban to happen. I started banning everyone who posts about Musk instead, my feed got a lot cleaner.

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.

Yes, seriously.
Fine, I'll do it myself.

It's about time I start subscribing to some RSS feeds since I left reddit anyway. I'll start posting some stuff, everyone else feel free. I'll probably add mods at some point.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
Could you add some rules? You could copy the ones here and just add 5. No musk spam! Use [[email protected]](https://kbin.social/m/EnoughMuskSpam) for that

yes
I'm into it. All of the news is bad news for him and I love it. It's like a house burning for a year and I just like checking in on it every few days.
Some Lemmy apps have filters. I use Memmy for Lemmy and it has filters. That assumes you use your phone and not a browser.

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.
Please do that!
Don't block me though, please
Thank you for saying this
We need some form of moderation but I think it’s going to be pretty unpleasant given that the fediverse is very appealing to the doomer mindset. I am also surprised at the amount of people that actually think that social media is technology
