Pro-Elon trolls are joining the #TwitterMigration so here's your regular reminder to block and report them immediately. If a server continuously fails to take action against abuse, block that server and demand your instance admin do the same.

Here, we're the content moderation. I've got major respect for the folks who built this place because, while the rest of us were complaining over on the #birdsite, they were successfully de-federating Gab.

Let's continue this proud #Fediverse tradition.

@jonielena that sounds like a dangerous path. Defederation should be an action of last resort as it breaks up the network and dialogue. What constitutes an Elon troll? Just because someone defends Elon and disagrees with others shouldn’t be enough for defederation. Otherwise we become worse than #Twitter.

In fact, to break my bubble a bit: I don’t think #SpaceX and #Tesla would be where they are if it wasn’t for #Elon.

@Setok @jonielena Also, arbitrarily declaring a whole group of people who you don't know "trolls" based on a single viewpoint on a single person, is beyond unfair.

Human beings are (A) complicated, and (B) individuals. One should always treat them that way.

In the case of Elon, it should be pointed out that most of his original fans were on the *left*. Back when I was on the Tesla Motors Club site, I only knew a single conservative there.

He's of course thrown us all under the bus now.

@Setok @jonielena There's been a lot of BS spread about him and his companies over the years, and I'll always stand up for facts. Even if the person is being... (*gestures widely at what #ÉlonMusk has become*). And here, I guess that makes me a "pro-Elon Troll". While I'm on Twitter I get called an *anti*-Elon troll because I criticize his ever-deepening descent into angry alt-right conspiracy theory madness.

In your opinion... why did he?

Why did Kanye?

Why did Trump, for that matter? He used to be a close friend of the Clintons, yeah?

@dev_d237 @nafnlaus was Trump though? There was an Internet meme some time back about how he donated to the Clinton campaign, but apparently that wasn’t correct. I know nothing about Kanye. For #Elon I suspect there were always those sides, and he might actually swing both ways. Some of my views are leftist, some rightish. Overall I’ve never liked 1D political axis and I’m not happy with the current polarisation meaning everyone has to agree about everything.
@nafnlaus @Setok @jonielena awww poor Elon fans, so marginalized
