    I know it’s unpopular, but I would like news related to Reddit to be kept on Reddit specific communities

      I know it’s unpopular, but I’d like unpopular opinions to be kept on unpopular opinion specific communities 😁

        Is it though? I don’t mind these posts being here but, just because something takes place on the internet doesn’t feel like it should qualify as “tech news” these days. Everything is on the internet and usually the tech underlying the goings-on isn’t really germane.

        At least they spark a discussion of using new tech when posted to a tech news site but it does feel a bit off topic sometimes.

          I don’t mind keeping up with the goings on over there, but I can understand your point. I’m good as long as it doesn’t feel like the main talking point on Lemmy like it did there for a minute a few weeks back.

        I’d argue Reddit (and Twitter) aren’t tech firms, they’re social media / advertising (depending on how liberal you want to be with that term) firms.

      Same, I’d also like every article abput Facebook/Meta to be kept on a specific community, every Twitter article to be kept on that specific community. Every incident with a tech company should be kept within that community. Might as well just shut down this community and have specific communites for every different technology: Phones, Tablets, Computers, Chat AI, Art AI, Cars, Trucks, Planes, Android, iOS, Windows OS, Quantum Computing, Virtual Reality, Augumented Reality, and so on. Each topic should just have their own community instead of simply having a general Technology community

      You should start your own tech oriented community then. That way you’ll be able to implement all the arbitrary rules over what constitutes “tech news” that you like.

        I see your point, but I use Lemmy (as I did use Reddit before) to stay up to date on everything relevant, including Twitter/Meta drama, political drama and also Reddit drama.

        I mean, a large number (including me) are here because of Reddit’s actions. I don’t so much mind seeing what stupid thing Reddit is doing now, because it makes me feel better about being here.
