I bet the Venn Diagram of the "Uses Edge" and "Uses AdBlocker" is really small.

Same, but it allows me to use DNS over HTTPS, so if you use a service like nextdns.io or a pihole you can block ads that way.

Huh. I don't know what's happening in the corporate world but that kinda surprises me given chrome has way higher market share and generally the most traveled path is the easiest. And they're the same thing under the hood

I'm curious why

News community around technology, social media platforms, information technology and governmental policy surrounding it.

What doesn't fit here?

The core of the story has to be technology focused.

  • If article mentions "AI" in a sentence and then talks about business economics that doesn't make it tech news.
  • Gaming is too many layers removed from technology. There are many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
  • Transporation is too many layers removed from technology. EVs while use many cool technologies have many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
  • Entertainment is too many layers removed from technology. While sometimes it can fit here, business or cultural aspects of it are a better fit for dedicated communities.
  • Cybersecurity. While it heavily focuses on technology, most of the time it's too technical for most people who are not already invested in it. Should be posted in a dedicated communities unless it has broader connection to other tech areas.

Post guidelines

Title format

Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.

URL format

Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.

[Opinion] prefix

Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.

Country prefix

Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

2. Use original link

3. Respectful communication

All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
