Greetings everyone,
We wanted to take a moment and let everyone know about the !business@lemmy.world community on Lemmy.World which hasn’t gained much traction. Additionally, we’ve noticed occasional complaints about Business-related news being posted in the Technology community. To address this, we want to encourage our community members to engage with the Business community.
While we’ll still permit Technology-related business news here, unless it becomes overly repetitive, we kindly ask that you consider cross-posting such content to the Business community. This will help foster a more focused discussion environment in both communities.
We’ve interacted with the mod team of the Business community, and they seem like a dedicated and welcoming group, much like the rest of us here on Lemmy. If you’re interested, we encourage you to check out their community and show them some support!
Let’s continue to build a thriving and inclusive ecosystem across all our communities on Lemmy.World!
That’s a great initiative! Cross-posting business-related news to the Business community can really help improve the quality of discussions in both spheres. Plus, engaging with a dedicated group means more relevant insights and a richer experience for everyone involved. I’ll definitely check out !business@lemmy.world and support this effort to strengthen our community bonds. Let’s keep building together!
Stricter moderation in not allowing unrelated news would be a good start.
Not to be cynical, but I’ve had my fair share of Elon Musk spewing bullshit that has nothing to do with anything.
Why was tech-related business news ever allowed in the first place? Being tech-related news is not tech. We don’t need every community for technology overwhelmed with Elon Musk’s stupid business decision du jour.
As a subscriber to Technology, I felt the pain of seeing all the “Elon Musk stops paying rent” or “Tesla stiffs local pie maker” posts, and I was like “OK, it’s not tech, and it’s not really ‘News’, where’s the ‘Business’ section?”
Well… there you go! ;)
Hopefully will keep Technology and News clean, and the folks who don’t want Business can ignore it.
“Hopefully it will keep TechNews clean…” Narrator: It WOULDN’T.
Doesn’t appear that the rule is enforced consistently and in my experience is used mostly to remove Twitter related news, even those that aren’t really business (like primary domain change, which broke some extensions). At the same time posts about pricing changes of streaming services are OK.
While I have no interest, I appreciate the attempt to segregate business news out of other communities
