There is some Tesla brigade working hard to remove everything from the internet that makes them look bad.

The last couple days I've noticed every post that shows Tesla not looking good, has been removed from some higher directive. Not deleted by OP.

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/7a74e66e-80bb-41d7-b883-06286068c075.jpeg

and yesterday an OP tried at least twice to post an article about Tesla factory ordering $16,000 worth of pies from a small independently-owned Silicon Valley bakery, owned by a sweet hard-working lady who worked overtime all night and had to go out and buy more ingredients to get the order finished in time, only for Tesla to call up the next morning and cancel the order just as the pies were about to be delivered to Tesla. As of press time, that lady lost $16,000 on that order but hopefully Tesla came back and made up for it.

The OP posted that article twice because the first one had been removed, then I tried to comment on the second one and it had been removed also.

There seems to be some Tesla brigade working hard to remove everything from the internet that makes them look bad.

There isn't. The admins and mods are all in a discord server where we discuss shit and yet me tell you there is nor a pro Tesla agenda.

it's not really surprising that anyone still into Elon at this point is going to be a little autistic at least.

I dunno, man. Sometimes I’m really concerned with the echo chamber here. If you look at Lemmy and Reddit, it’s nothing but an Elon-hating amphitheatre, yet objectively, the guy still seems to be soaring up all the lists that matter.

So, something isn’t right. The guy is obviously popular in places that matter, and it’s worrying that places like this never, ever, ever show it.

I’d like to think Lemmy isn’t one-sided and biased but it clearly is.

And for the record, I’m not pro or anti-Elon. I’m not plugged in (or care) enough to know shit about the guy. But what I’m not going to do is Boomer-lean into one source and parrot the sentiment. Isn’t that what us Gen-Ys and Gen-Zs are supposed to despise, and be too internet savvy to fall for, or are we following our parents into ignorance?

"...soaring up all the lists that matter..."

Maybe, objectively, our methodology for measuring greatness/worth is flawed.

Cypher ,

What echo chamber? Elon has been screaming from the fucking rooftops for a few years now that he's a collosal piece of shit.

He's anti-union, anti-worker, facsist, dodges taxes and has like a dozen kids because he believes in "white replacement".

There's literally a meme about you on the top of my feed right now.

What echo chamber?

Test it yourself. Try saying anything positive about him. Say he has nice eyes, I don’t care, and watch the downvotes flow.

As a matter of fact don’t even be positive, be neutral. Say something like, “I haven’t formed an opinion on this yet” and watch what happens.

HoustonHenry ,

His foundation is awesome

Cypher ,

If you haven’t formed an opinion then you are out of touch and shouldn’t be surprised when people are annoyed at dealing with you.

All the information is there on the internet.

And Im sorry, but if you think physical traits are comparative to being a union busting asshole or being a white supremacist, then you’re a person not worth engaging with.

Zero ,

“ And for the record, I’m not pro or anti-Elon. I’m not plugged in (or care) enough to know shit about the guy”

So wait are you commenting passionately on something you’re self-admittedly completely ignorant of or are you feigning ignorance to Stan for Elon?

How do you breathe? I've rimmed a few guys but never stuck my whole head up there.

Hi, there

I have been professionally diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum, formally as having Asperger’s Syndrome.

I think I speak for quite a few people when I say please don’t lump those degenerate retards in with us, as their condition is, while yet undefined, something entirely unique and outside of the realm of psychiatric treatment or counseling, and thus cannot be helped.

Thank you,

King of the Aspies

JustZ ,

That may be true but I'm in the market for a car right now and one thing Tesla cannot hide is how many used ones are for sale and how cheap they are compared to sticker price after a year or two.

Appoxo , (edited )
@Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Wonder why though? Shitty build quality?

fine_sandy_bottom ,

There's probably a range of factors.

My own feelings are not indicative of market trends (because I'm a bit weird about things) but a few years ago teslas had some kind of appeal.

I guess I just hadn't realised how much of an ass musk is.

That situation has changed though. I would be legit embarrassed to drive one.

JustZ ,

Same. I suspect there's a lot of that going on. The excitement was ruined by Musk being such a dangerous and creepy weirdo.

DerisionConsulting ,

Some people are not a fan of the internal cameras recording you at all times that send footage back to Tesla.

Fuuuuuuck that. That's just stupid to pay for that.

DerisionConsulting ,

Exactly. If you own a Tesla, roadtrips don't include handjobs. What's even the point?

Buffalox , (edited )

The story posted twice and removed by mods, were because he broke the rules. First he posted on c/technology when it has nothing to do with tech. Then he posted on c/news with a headline complaining that it was removed, where it's against the rules to change the headline. So this has nothing to do with being silenced, but everything to do with not respecting the subs he posted to.
The exact same article was posted again, but with correct headline, and has not been taken down.

LemmyKnowsBest OP ,

Aye, Thank you for noticing the issue and explaining. I keep wondering why my post keeps getting up votes. I was in some sort of conspiracy theory mindset when I wrote it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Gnugit ,

This explanation is grounded but I just want to point out that over the last 4 months I have blocked several Musk subs and a couple of Tesla subs. All of which were pumping out their respective subjects as spam everyday...

KevonLooney ,

On some apps you can block specific words. Block the words "Elon" and "Musk" and you'll never miss anything important.

SuddenDownpour ,

You should edit your OP to update it with this information.

intensely_human ,

Not sure but I think I'm seeing my client's (wefwef) version of that error message for a post on which I commented earlier today.

There was a discussion in which it was being debated whether men were worthy of help when being abused. It got disappeared.

I've got a screenshot of the post and the comment I made, but that's all I can get. The actual post, which was at https://wefwef.app/profile/lemm.ee/c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world/comments/24739440, is now gone.

Additionally, the user who made the post is also gone. The user's on a different instance than where it was posted: https://wefwef.app/profile/lemm.ee/u/Dble@lemmy.today

Can this content be recovered by someone else on a different instance, from a federation-synced copy of the content?

Anyway, screenshots of before and now: https://imgur.com/a/B2aEJrW

LemmyKnowsBest OP ,

interesting. many if not most of us left Reddit because of the censorship and power-hungry mods, thought we found freedom in Lemmy, although we'd been occasionally warned that censorship and power-hungry instance owners exist everywhere.

intensely_human ,

I really feel like federated content has a built-in anti censorship potential, because an instance or community owner can only delete content in their own scope of authority. Federation naturally involves content being replicated.

It’s too bad that the discussions all seem to be about how to centralize and control lemmy, as opposed to, you know, the dangers of centralized control.

1Transient ,

Let me give you a hint. Tesla depends on carbon taxes put on other car manufacturers by the US Govt. When you criticize Tesla, you draw attention of the US Govt/Deep State.

Thorny_Insight ,

I can't remember the last time I read a positive news story about Tesla. Maybe the mods simply just are tired of the contant spam about Elon's every single action.

Lutra ,

Would you believe there is also a brigade working for years to make Tesla look terrible? https://stopelonfromfailingagain.com/

People. go figure.

atrielienz ,

Hear me out. Perhaps it's a heavy handed mod or the community who is tired of Tesla posts full stop. Or Elon Musk posts, which tbh is kind of fair especially on places like the tech community. Musk does a lot of things to stay in the news cycle to stay relevant and a lot of people are fatigued about it.

SpaceCowboy ,
@SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca avatar

I think that sort of thing should be decided by the community with the up/down vote buttons.

Or if the Mods wants to implement a policy to ban certain content then that could be added to the Rules for posting. That would be fine as people that want that kind of content can create their own community for it.

Moderation policies should be transparent and not used to veto anything that displeases a mod.

atrielienz , (edited )

Lots of people in the community have complained. An even asked for a temp ban on posts about him (just him, not even his companies or their products). Moderation policies are transparent here. You can check mod logs. There are several comments on this post to that effect. Op threw out a lot of accusations.

intensely_human ,

Which instance are we talking about. Was this all on lenmyworld or elsewhere? Was it all in one community? Did it happen here?

he isn't just the biggest troll in history, he is also the idol of all other trolls

I'm starting to wonder if the trolls are actually trolls that through selective breeding started to look more human like over time

Oh that's good news, it finally made it through without being removed.

Tesla is a massive stock pumping Ponzi scheme that just happens to have a poorly ran car company attached to it. People need to realize what the goal of Tesla marketing is really about. It will be remembered as one of the great investment scams of our time.
