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.

    How does cancelling a pie order at delivery mean that you don’t pay? You try to cancel a dental appointment in less than 48hrs and you still get charged for that appointment

    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.

      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 🤷🏻‍♀️

        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…

          On some apps you can block specific words. Block the words “Elon” and “Musk” and you’ll never miss anything important.

    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.

      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.

        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.

          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

    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.

      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.

        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.

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

    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.

      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.

    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.

      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

      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?

          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.

        “…soaring up all the lists that matter…”

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

        “ 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?

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

      That’s exactly the type of thing the stock market is usually good at punishing. However maybe there’s more to the stock than full self-driving, or maybe some people still hope it’s coming and yet other find the existing functionality useful

    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.
