      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.
