A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

MODERATORS
They banned a bunch of people including Jessie Gender (now reinstated) for mild criticism of the Harry Potter author.
They banned people for posting old (public domain) short films for fictional violence.
There was another ban wave when people were criticizing the hateful words spoken by that one guy who was violently killed.
There's an explicit promise of an upcoming wave of noncon artists. (I'm personally not a fan of such art but don't think they should be banned)
Some people have been reinstated, but the explicit focus on limiting speech has a real chilling effect.
I'm positive I've missed some from longer ago.
I'm noticing what's not on that list. Wonderful.
I think there were also some cases were Turkish accounts that criticised the Turkish government were banned, iirc.
That was great, things for sharing!
