This “technology” community is quickly becoming just as bad as the one on reddit.
The insane ravings and personal drama of a lunatic billionaire isn’t news about technology.
Even news about Twitter itself isn’t technology news. Twitter is a business that sells services. They don’t make or contribute to any types of technology.
The only thing that Twitter technology related is that their business operates on the internet. That’s it. Chewy.com or NYTimes.com is just as much “technology” as Twitter is.
They don’t make or contribute to any types of technology.
That part isn’t completely true. When they created the bootstrap framework it changed how many people built websites. They can and have contributed to technology. However, your point is valid that news about Twitter is business news.
Yeah this is just the new Society Pages of the rich and famous (ie people whose job is managing your attention).
Even my beloved Paris Marx, of the Tech Won’t Save Us podcast (recommended), can’t help themself from constantly crowing about Musk’s latest tort against humanity.

I feel like that’s the case for any general technology community. It’s better on the more specific communities.
