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.

They supposedly can be disabled in settings- but we all know that won't last. They're going full Microsoft Skype mode and it's only a matter of time.

Hopefully those FOSS projects will gain some sense as discord becomes more shit and will leave. One can hope.

I never understood how a chatroom took off as a tool to document stuff. Who seriously thinks this is a good idea? 😵

If a project only has Discord for support (no docs, no bug tracker), I'm not using it. Don't want to deal with trying to find anything in Discord.
