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

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.

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.

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@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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@aussie.zone 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] key@lemmy.keychat.org 48 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Reason the thread complaining about the pie post being taken down was removed from this c:

reason: Using this instant as a platform for complaints against the actions of other mods

The top comment in that thread describes the reason it was removed originally.

A constant stream of meta whining sucks. Doesn't need to be some pro-Tesla conspiracy to dislike that.

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Exactly. And this is Lemmy, the modlogs are public. People always want to believe things are a conspiracy instead of logically considering more plausible reasons.

[–] sinokon@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

You sure try modlogs are public? Some already use the name “mod” to hide their own mod profiles when doing actions and it’s trivial to setup admin actions to remove posts / comments without listing them in the modlog, while I agree it’s better than nothing it’s still up to each individual instance to decide what they give price of their admin / mod actions.

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Can you point to a community where it’s not public? I’ve never seen one and my understanding was that was a feature of Lemmy, if not all of the fediverse

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 47 points 1 year ago (3 children)

The pie story kept getting removed because OP was posting it to irrelevant communities.

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@lemmy.ca 34 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

That pie post is one post up from this one, on my feed......

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

[–] SatanicNotMessianic@lemmy.ml 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is entirely subjective - I haven’t gone around counting things up - but I’ve noticed both more pro-Tesla and pro-SpaceX posts and increased arguments on the anti-Musk posts. It seemed (on lemmy) to be coming from the same small number of accounts, so it could just be an enthusiastic handful of fanboys.

If one of them became a mod, that might explain it. They were very active in the Tesla and SpaceX subs with multiple articles posted within minutes of each other within the past couple of days.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably just fanboys. I hate playing the shill but have certainly responded to unreasonable hatred and wrong criticism. There’s plenty of criticism to go around, even if you stick to valid stuff.

[–] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The same thing was quite widespread with Trump aswell. Each day the guy gives new valid reasons to critizise him for but people still feel the need to come up with lies about them or what's probably even more common; jump to conclusions the very first moment a new story is breaking and then just run with it even if it's later proven to be false. Like the story about Elon turning off Starlink to stop Ukrainian attack on Crimea. Or when people's twitter profiles get suspended only to then be restored few hours later.

Being part of a hate-cult is hardly any better from being a fanboy.

[–] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 23 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] JustZ@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Wonder why though? Shitty build quality?

[–] fine_sandy_bottom@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] DerisionConsulting@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[–] theodewere@kbin.social 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Ebby@lemmy.ssba.com 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I was driving around doing errands and passed by that pie place. I was all "Hey! Is that the famous pie place now?" Yup, sure enough. The shop was closer then I thought. Best of luck to them!

I remember modest coffee had something like that happen and bought a box of beans to help them out.

[–] Hypx@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] machinin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Your user name surprised me!

[–] doublejay1999@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Dude it’s been going on for 10 years.

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So normal internet marketing machine is working as planned?

Makes you wonder about times you have looked at reddit for a review of an item and haven't seen negative comments.

[–] I_like_turtles3@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

At this point we are in the situation where PR companies that are pro and against Musk are fighting eachother in public spaces in the hopes that both brainwash as many people as possible, into their narrative. Nobody can tell the truth anymore, we're in that period now.

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How’s that “fULL sELf dRiviNg” coming along that their valuation was supposedly based on?

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@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

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

[–] sebinspace@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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
