    I’m going to be a bit meta here, but Lemmy is very circle-jerky right now. Lots of fediverse worship (despite potential flaws regarding governance and centralization of activity on Lemmy.world) and daily beatdowns on Twitter, Reddit, and big tech. The whole Reddit API fiasco happened two weeks ago but people are still bringing in that Internet janitor stuff over here.

      To be fair, it’s not just limited to here. Pretty much every place is dunking on Twitter and Reddit’s self-owns right now. It’ll die out in a day or two like always

        I agree. But it feels a lot more acute here. Perhaps it’s because people have that fediverse/anti-Big Tech boner going on. I’m on some other centralized Reddit alternatives and there’s a lot more engagement with other content besides anything related to Twitter/Reddit.

        Yeah, it’s like watching a cargo plane crash into an actively derailing train. There’s naturally going to be lots of buzz about it, even if people don’t normally care about planes or trains.

    Its like the one on reddit. All bad news and posts about how technology is so awful! They should rename it to anti-technology.

    If it is from lemmy, as this one is, think of it as a subreddit more than a Twitter style microblog

      You missed the point. If you look at the recent posts on this community, most of them are news about Twitter. They asking is this community to talk about technology, or just community to post news about Twitter.

      What nuance is there that you want discussed? Elon was always a grifter and in 2015 the signs of that were just starting to show. In 2023 it’s so glaringly aparant only his most devout stans still believe the fantasy world.
