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.

My feed doesn't have any neo nazy stuff. Maybe I use it differently or it is because of my country, but here leftists are on twitter and killing it would be very troublesome. Right wing only has some bot accounts.
what's stopping leftists in your country from using an alternate platform? i mean, i'm not going to tell you what the left in your country should do, but twitter is now an explicitly pro-Donald Trump platform and likely contributed to him winning the US election. I think leftists elsewhere in the world care about whether the US descends into full-blown fascism, because that would be generally bad for the entire world? But I could be wrong about that, I could also see people feeling like that could be a good thing for them because it would mean the US meddles less in other nations' affairs.
If you do think Trump winning the US election is a bad thing for your personal political aims, you should probably be looking for a way to get off twitter, because twitter is now a part of his machine.
