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.

Can you though? There have to be communities to join, and they are what get polluted. As I understand it, switching instances won't help.
Someone then has to police a community if you want to "get rid of the riff-raff" and they will follow who-knows-what criteria for their policing. Just look at all the right-wing subreddits for an example of how policing doesn't necessarily raise the quality of discussion.
