Comment on Another new "Technology" community.

who@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

After being on !technology@lemmy.world for a while, I find it overwhelmingly tiresome due to so many posts that are not about technologies, but instead about businesses drama, the stock market, and politics. The most frequent posters there seem to think “technology” means “tech stocks and the executives behind them”. Any article about any organization that happens to use a technology (especially computers) is accepted, and since that means all businesses, the result is practically no filtering at all. The community is flooded with noise that clearly fits better elsewhere.

If I wanted my feed filled with business drama, I would subscribe to a business or stocks community.

People gently complain about this from time to time, often garnering lots of upvotes, but the moderator(s) do nothing about it. A few examples:

lemmy.world/post/22514253

lemmy.world/post/24137271

lemm.ee/post/17164656

The posted rules remain vague, and the problem persists.

I wish there were a community where the bar was high enough to filter out most of that stuff, instead favoring news and discussions of technologies and their effects on the world. If one were to gain traction, I would gladly abandon the lemmy.world one and all the noise that it produces.
