Please don't turn this community into another Musk news ticker.

I agree. I don't really consider social media "technology" anymore. I mean yeah it uses technology but so does everything else. I don't think technology is the right community for this kind of post. There should be an enshittification community where we can see all the Twitter, reddit, and meta stuff.

In fact a lot of "technology" companies are just regular companies with an app. Netflix is a media company, Uber is a taxi company that somehow skirted regulators, and Airbnb is a hotel company that also skirted regulators.

In tech, "disruption" is another word for "skirting regulation before the law catches up".

To be fair, the social media platform are generally very advanced in terms of technology. Many of the most breaking grounds software technologies at least come from them.

I'm happy to learn about significant updates to the health of the platform but not as literal Musk tweets pls.

Agree, I don't really care about that platform

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

I also don't care but I'm really enjoying the schadenfreude

With RIF is just straight blocked posts containing Musk, Rowling etc, plenty of specific subreddits and managed to make my /all experience a great one. I'm hoping I can do that down the line with Lemmy too!

Good idea. I'll put that on the roadmap for my Lemmy app.
