I keep downvoting them. But I am apparently alone.
How many posts on Twitter is in your feed? Sorting by Hot, I see only two posts on Twitter, not including your post. Same if I sort by New.
Even if it is only 1 it is more than it should be.
If that's what you think I suggest you to start looking for filter options, maybe some apps already have them.
It’ll be funny to see because he’ll have to block the letter X
Yeah well I bet it is gonna be called Twitter for a while yet (the best option would be they keep calling it Twitter lol).
I mean, meta is still being called Facebook. So I guess it'll be a while
Well, the app's name still Facebook isn't it? I bet this dumb CEO is planning to change that too.
Could be a solution. But what if that company has an actual tech news, like release a new open source software or started contributing to a given web standard.
Well, then I guess you should put your priorities on a balance before making any filtering route.
If it helps for something I also get tired of repetitive news (especially because I'm subbed to many tech communities), but I just scroll and hide (Voyager and Summit), so not much of my "time is lose".
Then maybe this isn’t the community for you.
Twitter's been a big deal for a long time. So, to expect nobody to post about it is unreasonable.
It's hard not to upvote because fuck Elon. But at the same time its all dumb shit.
It's a lose lose situation.
I don't know if it works, but I found this post where someone claims to have made a keyword filter. https://sh.itjust.works/post/1715366 I don't think you'll be able to filter out "X" though
I was like, " Yeah! Downvote the musk posts" Then I proceeded to down vote the top post because it's about Elon Musk.
