Is there a community where I can get news about technology as in science, as opposed to "drama involving tech companies"? (lemmy.world)

I'm just not interested in hearing what bullshit FAANG is up to, I want to talk about linux kernel patches and raspberry pi revisions and maybe hear what people other than grifters are doing with neural networks.

I use this community for that: !tech@programming.dev

The rules seem to be aligned with what you're looking for.

Plus other communities on that instance depending on what you're interested in.

Then there are feeds like !hackernews@lemmit.online to keep up with content on other sites. There are lots of RSS feed communities through the https://rss.ponder.cat/communities instance

Literally the 2nd post on !tech@programming.dev is about mega corporations financials. Many other posts are about legal cases of megacorporations.

It seems to be less about technology, and more about the market and software drama/politics.

At least no musk spam.

It's not supposed to be since the rules say

Things that don’t fit

Minor app updates

Government legislation

Company news

Opinion pieces

I'll report the post and see what the mods do, likely they didn't see it yet

This seems like an area where there's demand for a carefully moderated community, even if there is less content over all. That might help with the state of tech news that other comments are mentioning

Hacker news is empty for me..?

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

I linked the wrong community earlier and then changed it

If the lemmit one also looks empty, it could be because you are the first person in your instance to come across the community. If you subscribe, it should start pulling the contents so you can see it.

It doesn't look like lemm.ee blocked it so hopefully the stuff above is the cause

Warning: those mods are trigger happy and abuse their rights (eg by banning content from Foss projects)

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

There is only one mod of each of those communities. !tech@programming.dev has not removed any content like that from what I can see, and !hackernews@lemmit.online has no removed posts at all.
