Hey everybody,

Due to the bombardment of Elon Musk content, the mods have decided to make a pinned mega thread. Please post all of your Elon Musk related news, gossip, technology and articles here.

We know many of you are deeply interested in Elon Must, but we need to allow space for other technology content as well.

As always, be excellent to each other.

Yours truly, moderators.

    This seems like a very poor decision. Just create a limit of 1 article per discrete Twitter topic. It’s obvious that the users want to discuss the Twitter trainwreck, just as it’s obvious that a substantial number of users are also tired of hearing about it.

    I think we’d agree that free reign to post as much about Twitter as you’d like would be over the top, but I think a mega thread like this is too far in the other direction. The compromise position here is fewer articles, not none at all.

    I appreciate that it’s difficult to steward a community like this as moderators. It needs a guiding hand to stay on topic and not devolve into just spam about a single topic. At the same time, too firm of a hand will too heavily restrict topics, and people will leave for greener pastures if they don’t find the available topics interesting.

    (Sorry if this is the wrong place, I looked for an option to directly message the moderation team but couldn’t find one.)
