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

Beat me to it!!
You can block communities you don't want to see
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.
