Why new Technology community?

In my humble opinion, none of the existing Technology communities had achieved optimal moderation + fit home server for the community.

To achieve the optimal mix here, moderation would need to be kept to the minimum (Remove non appropriate, spam, bots and off-topic replies and posts) to encourage discussions, as long as it’s related to technology and to have it on tech related server.

More importantly, I am trying also my best to keep this technology space commercial free. In my opinion, commercial news organisations don’t have anything to do with tech news reporting.

Initially, I will be the only mod till I can appoint other trusted mods.

Hopefully, this community will grow beyond me as a mod and the philosophy behind it will be developed and adapted to other communities as well.

I will take the community members feedback, if any major change or issue happened.

Hopefully, I made my case here about why I think my community is important and how it’s aiming to differentiate itself from the other technology communities.

If you found a flaw in the rules or the philosophy, please point it out in the comments.

    as long as it’s related to technology.

    In that case, I suggest you define what fields of technology you mean, because practically everything is related to one technology or another.

    you are better served by subscribing to a topic under the technology umbrella(Cyber security, hardware, software,… etc) , rather than the general technology community.

    I do subscribe to such communities, but no, I am not better served by them. There are relatively few active ones, and most are about computer hardware or software. That leaves out a vast array of other kinds of technology, each of which might not have enough daily news to support an active room of its own, but in aggregate would make for a genuinely interesting community distinct from the flood of tech-stock-drama that dominates so many other places.

    In any case, thanks for clarifying. I now know that your new community does not appeal to me.

      I clicked !tech@programming.dev and at least by the sidebar it seems to intend to be that, though not too active, and I had to go report an opinion piece I agree with that got tons of upvotes even though the rules say no opinion pieces.

        Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I just subscribed. Perhaps I’ll start posting things to that one instead of the .world room.
