      How many posts on Twitter is in your feed? Sorting by Hot, I see only two posts on Twitter, not including your post. Same if I sort by New.

          If that’s what you think I suggest you to start looking for filter options, maybe some apps already have them.

            Could be a solution. But what if that company has an actual tech news, like release a new open source software or started contributing to a given web standard.

              Well, then I guess you should put your priorities on a balance before making any filtering route.

              If it helps for something I also get tired of repetitive news (especially because I’m subbed to many tech communities), but I just scroll and hide (Voyager and Summit), so not much of my “time is lose”.

          This is an absurd position. I agree there could stand to be fewer posts. I don’t need to hear fifteen times that Mastodon has record increases (which would actually qualify as technology news by your standards, wouldn’t it?). But I would like to see it once. A limitation to keeping one popular article (as determined by the mods) per discrete news item would be a far better approach.

          I’m not interested in hearing about how Elon took over an X Twitter account yet again. I am very interested however in hearing that companies will lose verification on Twitter unless they buy enough ads. That is currently newsworthy.

          It’s clear that a substantial number of users are interested in hearing about this. It’s also clear that a substantial number of users are sick of hearing about this. There should be a compromise to find a middle ground, not either extreme of “as many posts about Twitter as you’d like” nor “no posts about Twitter at all”.

          Twitter’s been a big deal for a long time. So, to expect nobody to post about it is unreasonable.

      It’s hard not to upvote because fuck Elon. But at the same time its all dumb shit.

      It’s a lose lose situation.
