True, the antics of a social media site shouldn't really be the focus of this community

Seriously. At least put the twice daily Elon Musk stories in one thread.
It's fucking ridiculous.
Honestly, Lemmy is starting to really disappoint me. I figured I was leaving most of the circlejerking, reposting, and shitposting behind on Reddit. However Lemmy is every bit just as bad :-/ which is frightening considering how few people are on Lemmy. If it's getting this shitty right now, imagine it if there was a real Reddit migration...
Come to Lemmy as an alternative to reddit!
... No don't use it like reddit!?!

But my Techno Daddy news?... No, yeah. Reddit had the same issue. Enough with musking up tech subs.
Y'all know there's a voting system so people see the kind of posts they would want from a tech sub

Agreed. Elmo is only in this because he wants that dopamine hit of attention that front-page news gets him. It's why bought Twitter. Getting on the front page, just for a moment is all that matters to him.
Also, it is LONG past time we got over our child-like worship of billionaires. It's embarrassing to watch.

For those of you (like me) who are interested in keeping up with Twitter/Elon antics, “enoughmuskspam” also exists in Lemmy.
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.
Twitter is the scape goat here. We want technology content, not general news.

Twitter is a stage for attention and the "news" posted here is more about the ego than the technical aspects of the stage.
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.

Man this post is full of a lot of really angry people that take seeing stuff they don't like in their feed way too seriously.
The reddit sub always seemed to be a lot more about the business side of technology and I just remember a lot of arguing.
It would be nice to have an actual technology sub that discusses actual technology.
How about the mods unsticky the Twitter/Elon megathread?
Could you guys at least find other billionaires to obsess over? A bit of variety would be nice.
