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.

You might’ve noticed Framework, the laptop manufacturer, embroiled in a controversy as of now. The Discord server is on lockdown because the volunteer moderation team has gone on hiatus, and the Framework forum post about the controversy has been gaining unsightly amounts of steam from people disappointed at actions taken by Framework.

I appreciate your response. I do not want to be in the same room as people that think my peers or I shouldn't exist based on identity. Therefore people experiencing desires of fascism aren't welcome. I still personally ponder how to rehabilitate them.

i think there has to be a balance. if these people are not rehabilitated or dealt with quickly enough, it will cause those who are targeted by or against such bigotry to feel like the don't belong. they will likely interact with the community less and potentially leave it.

i'm not saying we shouldn't try to rehabilitate those we think can be saved, but there are unfortunately tradeoffs.

I understand and agree.
