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

          Yeah well I bet it is gonna be called Twitter for a while yet (the best option would be they keep calling it Twitter lol).

              Well, the app’s name still Facebook isn’t it? I bet this dumb CEO is planning to change that too.

        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”.

      Yeah let’s have no news at all about one of the largest and most influential tech companies going through massive restructuring! That kind of thing has no place on a tech community

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