If @itsfoss is going to repost every article they publish several times, I’m not sure I will continue following… too many duplicates!

@masterbuck We tend to schedule news/unique find 2–3 times in the first two weeks.

Thereafter, you won't see them repeated, unless there's a major update to them.

We could reduce it to just 2 times in total? I'd love to know your opinion on it!

@itsfoss At least it’s nice to hear there’s thought behind the current way of working. But most posts I complain about relate to news that is more than a month old (e.g. TB Supernova from July 12), so it doesn’t match. Unless it was posted here for the first time weeks after it appeared on the website? Which is possible but I don’t get why.

@masterbuck We recently started using a scheduler with Mastodon integration.

Yes, Mastodon integration with automated platforms is still new. So, maybe that caused an issue pushing some articles longer than it should :/

We will keep an eye on that, and make sure it sticks to our plan, and doesn't recycle it longer than it should be around.

Thanks for noticing it! :)

@itsfoss Thanks for the clarity and transparence! My initial message was probably more passive-agressive than it should have been, blame that on people (me) being more asshole-ish and entitled when they are online. Thanks again for the news, and the coverage, and the responsiveness!
