Why new Technology community?
In my humble opinion, none of the existing Technology communities had achieved optimal moderation + fit home server for the community.
To achieve the optimal mix here, moderation would need to be kept to the minimum (Remove non appropriate, spam, bots and off-topic replies and posts) to encourage discussions, as long as it’s related to technology and to have it on tech related server.
More importantly, I am trying also my best to keep this technology space commercial free. In my opinion, commercial news organisations don’t have anything to do with tech news reporting.
Initially, I will be the only mod till I can appoint other trusted mods.
Hopefully, this community will grow beyond me as a mod and the philosophy behind it will be developed and adapted to other communities as well.
I will take the community members feedback, if any major change or issue happened.
Hopefully, I made my case here about why I think my community is important and how it’s aiming to differentiate itself from the other technology communities.
If you found a flaw in the rules or the philosophy, please point it out in the comments.
In that case, I suggest you define what fields of technology you mean, because practically everything is related to one technology or another.
I do subscribe to such communities, but no, I am not better served by them. There are relatively few active ones, and most are about computer hardware or software. That leaves out a vast array of other kinds of technology, each of which might not have enough daily news to support an active room of its own, but in aggregate would make for a genuinely interesting community distinct from the flood of tech-stock drama that dominates so many others.
In any case, thanks for clarifying. I now know that your new community does not appeal to me.
I clicked [email protected] and at least by the sidebar it seems to intend to be that, though not too active, and I had to go report an opinion piece I agree with that got tons of upvotes even though the rules say no opinion pieces.
Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I just subscribed. Perhaps I’ll start posting things to that one instead of the .world room.
