    This is a very interesting technological development. I’m pleased that I can keep up with all the latest advances like this in the technology community.

      Sub currently has an ad for the new Mario game on it. I don’t think it’s moderated

      “So fucking what if an oligarch is using his position of power over a method of mass communication to shape public discourse to his will? I WANNA HEAR ABOUT ROBO DOGS OR SOME SHIT!”

      Then fucking post about robo dogs. Contribute or STFU about what IS contributed.

            Why is it that those that invoke reddit are the ones who’s comments remind me the most of the anger and lack of civility I remember from there?

              Because you blindly associate the word “reddit” with shit-tier posting and assholery.

              Which is precisely what I was intending to evoke to illustrate how garbage the comment I was responding to is.

              So, mission accomplished. I’m gonna go have a snack.

                how garbage the comment I was responding to is.

                While you post is pure quality.

                I WANNA HEAR ABOUT ROBO DOGS OR SOME SHIT!"

                Then fucking post about robo dogs. Contribute or STFU about what IS contributed.

                  More quality than yet another blathering imbecile whining that the content of a particular post isn’t what they want to fucking see.

                  Downvote and move on, or fucking contribute more content you want to see.

        Fair point re: contributing vs complaining. I think it’s tough to argue this is technology news though, how important it is as news isn’t the issue, there are other news communities.

    Do we really need this in Technology community? Is there a way we can put this stuff as against the rules?

    NYT should just abandon it like NPR did when they were labeled as “state media”. NPR recently said it had near zero impact on their site traffic.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    The social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, has removed the gold “verified” badge from the New York Times’ account amid ongoing complaints about the news organization from X owner Elon Musk.

    The move further extends Musk’s attempts to use the social media company he bought with claims of defending free speech to undercut news organizations he dislikes.

    In April, after Musk bought the company for $44 billion, X ended its years-old system of giving badges to politicians, journalists and other public figures whose identity it had verified.

    After The Post reported on the delay, X removed it for the Times without explanation but kept it in place for other X competitors, including Facebook, Instagram, Substack and Bluesky, according to a technical analysis from the news outlet The Markup.

    That steep drop outpaces an industry-wide slowdown in referrals to top news sites from X and Facebook this year, according to industry data from the analytics firm Similarweb first reported by Axios.

    In the months since Musk bought X, the social media site has cut back on content moderation, suspended journalists, reinstated neo-Nazis and threatened to file defamation lawsuits against critics such as the Anti-Defamation League.
