Technology
News community around technology, social media platforms, information technology and governmental policy surrounding it.
What doesn't fit here?
The core of the story has to be technology focused.
- If article mentions "AI" in a sentence and then talks about business economics that doesn't make it tech news.
- Gaming is too many layers removed from technology. There are many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Transporation is too many layers removed from technology. EVs while use many cool technologies have many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Entertainment is too many layers removed from technology. While sometimes it can fit here, business or cultural aspects of it are a better fit for dedicated communities.
- Cybersecurity. While it heavily focuses on technology, most of the time it's too technical for most people who are not already invested in it. Should be posted in a dedicated communities unless it has broader connection to other tech areas.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.
Rules
1. English only
Title and associated content has to be in English.
2. Use original link
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
3. Respectful communication
All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
4. Inclusivity
Everyone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
5. Ad hominem attacks
Any kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can't argue your position without attacking a person's character, you already lost the argument.
6. Off-topic tangents
Stay on topic. Keep it relevant.
7. Instance rules may apply
If something is not covered by community rules, but are against lemmy.zip instance rules, they will be enforced.

Haven't used imgur in ages. It doesn't work always says over capacity.
Yes, that's a bullshit lie. They give that error when they false-postive ban you, usually when you're using some tech to prevent them from tracking/fingerprinting you and selling your info.
Because, they have a policy of "fuck marginalized folks like domestic abuse survivors and refugees", apparently
I think it's just VPN usage cause I block their attempts to send my data to third parties like Meta, Google, and Mixpanel—yet I can browse Imgur just fine in both Firefox and in the app.
That means they're tracking you. Probably should fix your issue on Firefox and uninstall the app.
That's them filtering VPN ips. If you try jumping to a lesser used server, you'll probably see the site working.
Recently, most internet sites and especially those relying in cloudflare are filtering VPNs, and often blacklisting IPs just because it hurts their bottom-line.
Use Rimgo! It's a frontend for Imgur. Like Redlib for Reddit, Invidious for Youtube, etc.
Thanks! I'll definitely check it. I'm just mad at how the whole internet thing is evolving.
Yep, its VPN. The other thing that breaks imgur are some of privacy/spoof/security settings in Firefox. That said, I am in the same boat...been a while since I have used it to scroll
I use it daily and never have an issue. I wish there was a better site I could use cause it amazes me how often the app attempts to send my personal data to Meta (which I block, of course). But unfortunately Lemmy alone isn't enough to satisfy my need for fresh content ever since I left reddit during the API bullshit.
