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.

It's mentioned in the comment section that the developer made /c/[email protected] as the community for the new project.
You'd need the full link since beehaw defederated with lemmy.world. But you can keep track without needed an account.

Why are they defederated?
The announcement is here: https://beehaw.org/post/567170
The tl;dr is that lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works have open registration, which Beehaw doesn't like since it makes it trivial to harass/troll people. Beehaw has some questions you have to answer when signing up to try and reduce the amount of undesirable/negative behaviour, but that doesn't stop someone from just signing up on another instance and bypassing Beehaw's requirements.
I think this will eventually be properly solved with some more powerful moderation tools, but Lemmy isn't quite there yet.
