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.

What do you think of Hacker News? (lib.lgbt)

Following the reddit fiasco, I've been looking for other communities to get tech news from. I was active on HN a long time ago but it's been a hot minute, and I left because the politics were pretty bad; lots of free speech maximalists who loved to just ask questions, especially about queer people.

Is it better now? Worse? Just different?

Somebody shared a blog post of mine on hackernews a few months ago, which got to the front-page. I participated in the comment section and as far as I can remember I had a lot of really interesting technical feedback. I did not notice any of the issue you're mentioning, but there was nothing to censor or anything political about my post, and apart from this post, I do not frequently browse hackernews
