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.

Those are among the worst, yes, but even the existence of subs like gonewild can have the effect of repelling potential users, especially those who don't have an understanding of how the site is organized.
They read an article that talks about a sub for content they find objectionable, and from that point on, Reddit is "that site for (insert content they dislike here)".
Much the same, I'm concerned that Lemmy will be known among those users as "that site for communists that support the CCP".
