    Just block it. Wait, no, that “feature” makes no sense.

    Non-shitpost: I know everyone is annoyed by now, but Ex-Twitter is a huge website and relevant?

      Relevant to what?

      This conversation has had is back and forth far too many times. Twitter spam is not relevant to technology news. Him not blocking people has no barring on any form of new tech. It belongs in the [email protected] comms, that’s why that was created.

        It became a platform in which the whole world communicated about anything and everything. Maybe it still is to an extent, but knocking down the world’s platform plank by plank isn’t an absurd thing to write about

          I absolutely agree.
          That doesn’t mean its had anything to do with technology. A business comm or the above mentioned spam community would be a better fit.

          But like I said earlier that has been discussed a million times already. I’m not discussing it anymore.

        The Fediverse is already fractured and niche, are you saying that someone should fine the perfect 36 user community, that only those subscribers are knowledgeable about, to post this to? Or perhaps news about the global platform might be relevant in the largest technology community?

        2 years ago Twitter was where news broke, now it is where we get to watch a billionaire go broke in real time.

        If it bothers you so much, block all mentions of the platform, person, etc.

          You’re right. Why bother having separate communities for different subjects and interests? That’s just stupid. How silly of us.

      I agree with you. Personally I like seeing the meltdown without having to actually visit the site. Same reason I appreciate seeing how Reddit has gone full Digg4.0 but haven’t visited the site since the 3rd Party Apps died.

      This is/has a significant impact on technology and media.

      It isn’t relevant to the billions of people who don’t use Twitter. At this point it’s just celebrity schadenfreude.
