Let me make this clear.

I don't give a FLYING FUCK about Elon. I actively ignore any posts about him or his shitty empire. Stop using the behaviors of his idiot stans to argue with me. I am not them.

What I do care about is a community telling people what they can or cannot post, not through rules changes, not through mod action, but by agreeing internally to bully every person who dares to post what every tech publication is talking about.

I think you need to evaluate why you let this shit trigger you. I mean, this is like going to a coffee shop and raising a stink because they sell pumpkin spice lattes. Don't consume it. Use Lemmy's tools to filter it out if you really need to.

Its not the community's job to cater to your specific content desires. This isn't a news site. Its a place for people to talk about whatever they think technology is. It's your job to moderate what you pay attention to.

If i could wish one ability/skill, I would wish to have this person's articulation skill

It's your job to moderate what you pay attention to.

I didn't see any proposals to ban them. If anything this post is about what little value they bring to the community.

But maybe it's because I'd rather this community be more about technology and less about technology as it appears in the news.
