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.

We care about making our community a welcoming space, a little home on the internet. We care about stopping trolls that see the word “Disney” and want to cause as much damage as possible.

Funny enough with how beehaw is defederating from a bunch of instances that pose a threat to disturbing the safe positive vibes here seems like beehaw would be a good place to start that community here. And help reduce modding oversight with how instances with users who step over the line repeatedly can get the entire instance defederated like what happened to lemmy.world.

I'm not sure how open or closed kbin is to walling off groups that are potentially hostile.

Beehaw doesn't allow you to create communities. They were our initial choice until we learned that.

Kbin is against hate speech, which is all I ask for. And we had issues with those users on Reddit regardless; Reddit doesn't instantly ban someone the moment they spout the n-word across 12 subreddits.

Usually AutoMod catches/removes it, then we ban when reviewing modqueue. (Which the official app doesn't have last time I checked.) AutoMod doesn't exist here, which makes that harder... but we're small enough that it doesn't matter.
