Thursday on X (Twitter), all users saw the same pinned topic under the “What’s happening?” sidebar.

Everyday there is some “tech news” about X. These are not tech news anymore. How is a trans film promotion tech news? Where is the technology in this? This is just drama news at this point.

So, any news regarding a tech company is not, in your eyes, “tech news”?

That’s right. I think of tech news to be about the technology not about some political, racist, transphobic, etc… things. If it was actualy about tech then so be it but this ain’t it chief.
