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.
Rules
1. English only
Title and associated content has to be in English.
2. Use original link
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.

All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
4. Inclusivity
Everyone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

MODERATORS
Yeah but some groups of people don't ever seem to matter.
What's the ratio of male perverts covertly recording women to female perverts covertly recording men? Realistically, it's probably a hundred to one.
Is that how you keep yourself from caring about some groups?
No. But you're literally doing "all lives matter" here. A women's group pushes for change, and inevitably on any story about it, there will be a hoard of men not proposing how they can protect men, but whining about why the women's group doesn't worry about the men. You want to make progress on this issue for men? Start your own men's welfare group and be the change you want in the world. Don't just whine when a group advocates for themselves and their issues, and they just don't happen to include you in their target audience.
There is no space in the conversation for some groups and that's by intent.
"Why are people talking about their issues, why aren't they talking about ME?!!"
"Nobody else can talk if you don't shut up about yourself."
