All you’re doing is giving a narcissistic bully exactly what he wants - attention.
I don’t know about that. I don’t think laughing hysterically at how stupid he is is what he wants.

Musk is a shitty person. This is not news. We don’t need a running ticker on what bullshit he’s done now.

The votes prove you wrong, no matter what your opinion on it is. You’re free to disagree, but the notion that the people who make up this community are not the arbiters of what is and is not relevant to a community flies directly in the face of the very foundation Lemmy is built on.

People voted Trump into office, so I don’t put a lot of stock in people’s votes.

Hmm. You don’t know much about US elections, I see.

That is a reason for arguing that people don’t always make smart choice. It is however not an argument for claiming how people vote does not show what their preference is at the time of voting, which is what is relevant here.
It’s perfectly fine to argue you think it’s stupid of people to want to read about Musk, but the votes clearly show they do in fact want to.

Yes, my argument is that the people’s preference is wrong, and that this sub has become a Musk news feed instead of being about actual technology, just like what happened on Reddit.
Besides, net votes alone is a poor metric to base that decision on. Of course the people who want the sub to be garbage are going to defend their position, but you also have to look at more intangible factors like lurkers or people who block the community because of it.
Going by the popular vote is also how /r/funny became not funny.
