This is a technology community, and (whether you like it or not) Twitter being rebranded to X is pretty big news in the world of tech.

Especially with the slipshod way they are doing with it, there is bound to be a lot of articles covering different weird tangential effects from the rush job.

That is not Tech news that is business news.

What technology was developed, explored, integrated, improved, or otherwise innovated or more broadly applied by this?

Nothing, it does nothing, it's a branding decision, business news, not tech news.

Curious, those criteria you listed out are not present anywhere I can see in the community rules.

Perhaps you should petition the mods to change them if you feel so strongly about it.

I think we should or else create a new community to focus on those things so I can join that one.

Many instances have a tech community, I wonder if any of them are like that. [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]

This would be a welcome development, I feel like social media is something you use tech to do, but it's very rarely an interesting conversation about the tech itself.

Like how a grocery store has food but you wouldn't call it a restaurant.

The side car says this community is about technology news. I don't think they should list everything it's not, but maybe clarify if news about the tech industry are wanted or not.
