Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (eg non binary) is welcome
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever. 4( No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.

The best way to understand them truly is understanding why they love tech. Tech bros are essentially tech themed finance bros, they love stocks and monetizing tech but they dont care about the technology (examples: NFT bros, crypto bros, etc). Meanwhile technology enthusiasts are acturally enthusiastic about the technology. Not all of them do tech work but most have a hobby in either hardware and/or software tinkering (for example software customization for aesthetic and/or practical purposes, 3d printing, custom circuits, or general hardware modification). I fall into the tech enthusiast category because I love computers (especially thinkpads) and I love Linux :3
Conclusion: if you want to see if someone truly cares about technology ask them what they think about the AGPL/GPLv3 (open source licenses that makes software harder to monetize)
Of course there's also people like me. I hate computers and software. But I also hate finance bros. 🙂
Fair enough
