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.

Feedback welcome! Here's the TL;DR list

  1. Listen more to more Black people
  2. Post less – and think before you post
  3. Call in, call out, and/or report anti-Blackness when you see it
  4. Support Black people and Black-led instances and projects

Other suggestions?

Choosing weaker forms sounds sensible - my criticism is which ones.

Many people react that way but think about it a little more. It’s a fact. Mutliuple Black people have proven it repeatedly.

Yup, I know that it's a fact. You aren't being fallacious, but the way that you phrased it sounds like that fallacy, so it's a matter of clarity.

It's the same deal as the "post less", you know? People are misunderstanding you.

[from the other comment] That’s a great point, can I quote you on having seen it on Lemmy quite a few times?

Feel free to do so! However keep in mind that I didn't really keep track of them, so if someone says "do you have proofs?" I have no way to back it up.
