Enough Musk Spam

For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

You can get this info?

Someone want to say what "resist_05" is?

If you have API access, just a matter of the right query for all public info. It’s how statistics analysis on Twitter are done by universities etc, at least before he made API access too expensive for them.

Resist_05 looks maybe like a disinformation amplifying account, follows dom lucre and that antisemitic warmonitors account, etc.

edit: speaking of that warmonitors account, icymi

I'm shocked that viewing history for individual accounts is public info!

[–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If the account is set to public, then yes, pretty much everything available except DMs. If you have it set to private, then no, at least not from the public APIs.

I don't think which accounts or statuses someone has viewed/visited is public information. This is just a list of likes the account had, right? (Which is public and anyone can see without API access).

I was already rolling my eyes at another mislabeling of anyone who criticises Israel in any way but no... this is the real thing.

This is making me wonder if he scrubbed the account not only because Elon was viewed so much, but because he had recommended that warmonitors account before deleting the post, and probably many of the others. So guilt by association as well.

You know it’s bad when Elon can’t cover it up with a 💩
