I hate mlnews
How come? Is it that you dislike getting news here? You dislike having a user account dedicated to news to make it easier to filter? What aspect of MLNews do you not like?
Correct, I do not like to come here for my news that you deem relevant. not sure if you've noticed, but they dont normally get much traction. MLNews seems to post in a swarm pattern, and it's just annoying to me. now, if i could filter MLNews so it wouldn't show up in my feed, and aj, that'd be great!
Swarm pattern was addressed in another thread - it's when the site is slow and creating content for the people looking but not talking.
News gets posted here, getting it mostly posted by a single, obvious user seemed an improvement. The news won't stop, that's just how communities work. MLNews is not the only user posting new, it just makes it easier to filter out (visually.) If you look at SW, for example, they have an equivalent account (called Lee) posting news all day too.
Traction is not expected on news items, so that's no surprise. Sometimes there is a bit of traction, normally very little. But that is the expected pattern. If you look at news sites, they get little conversational traffic too. But that's because you don't tend to "talk about" news since it isn't an opinion, it's just the news.
