    The community was meant to divert the musk spam so other communities could be free of musk spam. Unfortunately, a lot of people don’t get this and still post anything related to musk on c/technology.

      But this is the Fediverse.

      Unless all the instances defederated from that community, it would just spam the content everywhere.

        That assumes you’re viewing the “all” feed. The intended way to use the site is to subscribe to the communities you want to see and use the subscribed feed.

        …except the communities are still regularly changing and there’s so much fragmentation that I haven’t yet bothered to switch to this approach here, despite the fact I never used to view the Reddit equivalents (all/popular).
