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.

Discord's usability is terrible for Open source communities. It never gave me the impression that it was designed for anything more than game chat rooms. The topic separation and discoverability is poor. Even Zulip does a much better job at it.
Open source maintainers always ask you to search the bug tracker/forums before asking a question. The same maintainers make their own life hard when they choose Discord, because the history is simply a black hole as far as search engines are concerned. Just use a discourse forum or something similar.
