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.

Bloody hell, I hate this kind of absolutism. For example, Twitter is one of the only spaces online that Sex Workers can promote their content. There was a federated alternative, Switter was the third largest Mastodon instance, but it was forced to shut down. Often these are people who are doing sex work to survive. Transgender people make up a significant proportion of that demographic, as discrimination often precludes us from formal employment.
But, according to you, those people have blood on their hands huh? People who have to sell their bodies using slurs so they can make rent…
Unless of course a lot of people still there agree with the message that Musk is sending and don't see anything wrong with the content. Wouldn't surprise me.
