MODERATORS
 

Non-essential crypto news covers crypto advertisement, insignificant news that does not affect legit users like XMR/ETH/BTC holders or darknet users, posts relating to garbage like Brave browser and its coin, and so on. Due to the multiple kinds of crypto posts that pop up, this rule will be applied subjectively on a case-by-case basis.

Community complaints about Elon Musk were raised here. https://lemmy.ml/post/7186058

A lot of ad and spam posts appear regularly, which need to be squashed. This will be enforced more heavily from now on.

Sometimes legitimate products are advertised, which should be allowed to post. This will be checked per case basis, and unless asked for permission, all such posts will be removed without notice.

So tired of Elon bs posts. Thanks

This. People who are freaking obsessed with the dude can keep the spam to themselves, that way it's actually possible to avoid having five tons of Elon's mental diarrhea shovelled at your face all the time.

Fun fact, after these rules were made, some obsessed maniac went and downvoted every single post and comment I made in the past week or two. Some people are mad 🤣

That... is very concerning regarding my existence, since I have atheist beliefs.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's referring to the Elon bootlickers. You can safely remain atheist

For a minute I thought I was just a digitised lifeform that time travelled from 3200 to aid the ancient redevelopment of internet mesh network.

That would at least be proper tech news if that happened.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Still a possibility.

I do have a bunch of comments with just one or two downvotes and no explaination (the other responses are rather positive). Might be similar case lmao

I saw your profile and helped balance it out.

Some people are manchildren I swear to god

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago
