None of that will stop the chilling effect this functional ban is creating. Notice not a single post/comment about Musk, Twitter/X, Tesla, and SpaceX has gone up yet they claim we were basically drowning in them prior. So if we were, why aren't they happening here now? The answer is: No one will bother.
I don't love Musk and frankly I'd like to see less but it also takes me less than a fraction of a second to scroll past it. This change will not lead to them being aggregated in one place, it will simply mean the topic disappears entirely. If that's what the community wants so be it but this wishful thinking that it won't have the chilling effect I'm mentioning here is, well, wishful thinking.
