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.

Ars asked Fractic if community forums would also be blocked. In response, he said that old school bulletin board systems are permitted, but Reddit is not.

If their strategy is blocking major app installations, along with the services themselves at the DNS level, at least the Fediverse is probably not big enough for them to have bothered to block it.
