Are you a tech enthusiast who also kind-of hates current tech trends? This community is a place to share your gripes with modern technologies, tech-bro culture, "AI the everything", etc.

Tech-rant memes, articles, or just rant/horror stories: all are welcome.

Related Communities

Note: The community is about a year old. It was originally going to be a personal blog, but I never found the time to write-up my tech hate, so it kind of languished. So now I'm re-branding it as a place for anyone to dump hate for current tech trends (in any format) since I didn't see any other community for that purpose (that wasn't for a specific trend - e.g. AI).

Bangladesh - To discuss Bangladesh, its people, culture, and diaspora. Also looking for moderators! (lemmy.world)

!bangladesh@lemmy.world

I requested the community with this message:

I want to create a space for r/Bangladesh. The government in the country has shut down the internet and I want to make decentralized options more accessible for them. I plan to see if the moderators want to join here too. If a good community forms, I am happy to hand off the moderator role.

I am not in Bangladesh, and I can't read Bengali without translation tools. I'll love to have other people helping with content and moderation. If you are interested, let me know.

It is difficult to self host in Bangladesh but my hope is that this community will end up creating an instance there. After this community is running, I will reach out to people on other websites.

@Safipok@lemmy.ml if you are still around, I'd be pleased to add you as a moderator

And also would you rather have a sentient toilet that gets off when you poop in it or is utterly revolted by it?

!unifiedpush@lemmy.dbzer0.com, for push notifications on Android that don't rely on proprietary Google services (unifiedpush.org)

Hey guys,
I created this community to promote and talk about the UnifiedPush project. It aims to create a free and open source alternative to Google's proprietary Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM). Quite a few apps have already adopted the UP protocol, but there are still many FOSS apps lacking support for it. I will post GitHub issue threads where UP integration in FOSS apps is being discussed. I will also post about new apps that gained UnifiedPush support, and other useful tools that help with using UP. If you want to stay up-to-date about ongoing developments in the Android FOSS ecosystem in regards to push notifications, consider subscribing to !unifiedpush@lemmy.dbzer0.com

I also recommend following the official Mastodon account, joining the Matrix room and donating to support development!

!marinemammalrescue@lemmy.ca

For updates on the patients and activities of MMR, as well as Marine Mammal related content in general. It's the season for a lot of rescues right now, so hopefully there is a good bit of content.

I'm planning to eventually see if the organization wants to take over the community officially

The Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue Society (VAMMR) is a global leader in marine mammal rescue, research, and rehabilitation. [They] respond to over 300 marine mammal emergencies each year and operate Canada’s only dedicated marine mammal hospital facility.

A list of casual communities on Lemmy (that aren't just tech news or politics) (lemmy.world)

Searching Lemmyverse is good for finding communities. !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl is also a nice tool for finding new places.

I posted this on the other site but I thought I'd copy over here too, lots of good communities around to subscribe to if you want a more casual/fun frontpage that isn't just tech news, elon musk, or politics.

note: all of these communities have posts. If they appear empty, it simply means nobody on the instance you use has visited them before (or you might have blocked them and forgot, I've done it before, lol)! I will try to keep this thread updated over time.

Note: if you wish to auto-subscribe to all of the communities below, I have a post in the comments that describes how to do so.

My rough criterion was:

  • Of interest to me or a wide audience
  • Has a decent amount of activity
  • Casual / fun / interesting / cool / funny / chatty communities.
  • 0 negativity/negative vibes, news, politics, overload of tech or niche tech news/info, etc.

Directory

  • Conversation Communities - for chatty places
    • "ask" based
    • Casual chat / Misc
  • Hobbies, Creative, Passions
    • Misc
    • Artwork
    • Cooking, food, drinks

Conversation communities

These are places that are 'chatty', good if you want a lot of comments.

"ask" based
Casual chat / Misc

Hobbies, Creative, Passions

Cooking, food, drinks

Generally mostly nice pics of food:

Gardening / Plants

Honestly there are so many sport communities around - if you search Lemmyverse for popular sports, you will almost certainly find more.

Nice/Interesting/Funny pictures

Animals

Literally just pictures of cute animals.

Comics

Meme communities in general can overload your feed, so keep that in mind.

Music

Lots of music communities on Lemmy. Search Lemmyverse for genres of interest for more, this definitely isn't exhaustive.

Note that music communities generally have low comment counts, from my experience.

There's also:

These communities have been removed from the list for not maintaining activity.

!linux@programming.dev

As usual with the fediverse, choice is key.

There were quite a few complaints on !fediverse@lemmy.world about !linux@lemmy.ml not having any real alternative (https://reddthat.com/post/20166234), so let's see if we can revive the programming.dev one.

And if it fails, at least we tried.

!imaginary@reddthat.com

Created this community as a fan of the Imaginary Network on Reddit.

I had a chat with other people maintaining other Imaginary communities on Lemmy (directory is !imaginarydirectory@lemm.ee ), they wanted to try a different approach, I just wanted a generic fantasy / futuristic community to change from !traditional_art@lemmy.world and !artporn@lemm.ee
