    This news is as related to technology as a weather report citing rain in Silicon Valley is relevant to technology. It doesn’t fit the sub.

      I agree in relevance, but it’s more “noteworthy” by measure of the poster. If Silicon Valley had a torrential storm that could materially impact these services, it would also belong in the !technology@lemmy.world community. I suggest you compare how strongly related other posts in this community are to technology, for reference.

        The other posts aren’t very related to technology either, and that’s my point. There was a time before Lemmy, when /r/Technology was focused on delivering news about new technology. Not tangentially related news about pro climate laws. Not the politics of social media companies. Not Elon Musk spam. Technology. /r/Science was vastly different in the past as well. In general, these communities had much more substantiative content with nuanced discussions in the comments from experts in relevant fields. Lemmy was a bit like that as well in the past. But unfortunately bots like this one started reposting all of the drivel from Reddit to the main Technology community, drowning out content with more depth. I want communities that I can genuinely learn from. I want to feel hesitant to comment, because everyone in the room is smarter than me. I miss that version of the internet.

            Yet you are, however, following a direct mirror of reddit right here in this community. Fully automated for your convenience.

                Just because you’re not smart enough to get that other guy’s points doesn’t make him wrong, fwiw

                  I’m fully aware of this. I’m trying to figure out what the point they’re attempting to make is in the first place. It’d be difficult for me to concede if the point is incomprehensible to me.

          Nobody is gonna waste their time reading that. Just leave if you don’t enjoy. Very simple.
