If lemmy had user-defined filters, I’d use them. Right now I’m downvoting the stuff, but there’s already a community for musk-related stuff: [email protected]

        I said the code is the tech and then gave examples of what isn’t tech. What else do you want? The dictionary definition is

        the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry.

        which points even further away from social media being tech IMO.

            The irony here. You’ve made zero argument other than “not uh!” and expect me to keep repeating what I’ve already stated in good faith. I focused on social media companies because that’s what you had an issue with. Nobody disputes whether companies like Microsoft, SpaceX, Intel, and Apple are tech companies. The dispute here is whether Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, etc are really tech companies and more specifically whether any news surrounding these companies should be considered tech news (which you’ve already been given examples of) rather than just news about their actual tech products.

            So social media companies don’t apply scientific knowledge? Are you serious?

            Nobody stated that.

            Once again I’ll ask you to define what you think social media companies are and how that definition doesn’t include every other company with a web presence. Are you or are you not able to do that?
