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.

Bummer that they’re vetting all new subscribers for an iPhone community. Seems like an aggressive gatekeeping tactic for a benign topic.

I've heard in other lemmy communities that the vetting is mostly an attempt at an anti-spammer( and anti-troll) measure.

Yeah you have to be careful. I still venture to guess 80% of folks here have no idea how federation works. Over time I hope things get better but federation is not a newbie friendly thing. People have to realize how it works and the more spread out the better.
