I get where you're coming from, but seeing posts like this for so many popular new topics is getting repetitive too. Its definitely tech related. Elon and twitter news will slow down eventually, and people will obsess over something new, guaranteed. Better to just ride it out IMO.

Could you guys at least find other billionaires to obsess over? A bit of variety would be nice.

Too late for that. Technology has been redefined to mean whatever Si valley IT tech bros are up to.

I recommend to unsub and build topical communities.

Seriously. At least put the twice daily Elon Musk stories in one thread.

It's fucking ridiculous.

Found a handy script to minimize this:

When we first got here, people were complaining about that everything was about reddit all the time, then it slowed down until r/place happened again.

Just let the news happen naturally, Musk shenanigans with 𝕏 is the tech headline right now.

Agreed whats more annoying is getting double X posts back to back

Twitter renaming to X is definitely something high on tech news. Would love to have a run where similar headlines are removed.

[–] unodostres@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

I totally agree

[–] MortyMcFry@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago (13 children)

But it’s news about tech.

Hear, hear! I’m so sick of watching that douche get all the free publicity in the world. It’s like his haters haven’t all figured out that this why he does half the shit he does.

I’m almost ready to block this domain. Bunch of Musk shit and bad news all around.

[–] baked_tea@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Well most big tech is going to shit so bad news is still news.

For those of you (like me) who are interested in keeping up with Twitter/Elon antics, “enoughmuskspam” also exists in Lemmy.
