    There is absolutely nothing related to technology with this. Twitter is not a tech company. They produce no tech. They’re a social media company.

      No, they’re an advertising company.

      You (users) pay musk to display your original created content on his platform, your content is then used to attract companies that pay musk so they can display adverts to people reading your original content.

        Is the implication that any business you access via a web browser or app is a tech company? Boy do I have news for you about literally every business

          yes, pretty much every company is a tech company at this point, very few contract out all of that stuff

            So a plumbing business which books appointments via their nothing-customized Squarespace page, that’s a tech company? And you would think it appropriate if a news story about that plumber causing a water main break being posted to a technology news feed?

            Having a website does not make a company a tech company and you are objectively wrong if you think it does.

            This is one of those cases where something might TECHNICALLY be true, but it doesn’t make sense in the context of what we’re discussing

      I don’t know what their current level of public contribution is, but there was a time where they put out some pretty popular OSS like pants / pex and bootstrap. In any case I think it is pretty common to consider social media platforms themselves to be technology. I get your meaning though, but there are many posts much further over the obviously-not-tech line then this.

      How else are you going to fight against people like Elon except by talking about them constantly and making sure not a day goes by that they’re not on the front page of every social media site and news outlet? Worked so great with Trump too.

      Seriously, My entire feed is just Musk, Trump and Biden.

      We have a politics sub for this
