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.

Following the reddit fiasco, I've been looking for other communities to get tech news from. I was active on HN a long time ago but it's been a hot minute, and I left because the politics were pretty bad; lots of free speech maximalists who loved to just ask questions, especially about queer people.

Is it better now? Worse? Just different?

I'm a big fan of lobste.rs - similar structure, different vibe (it had nothing to do with rust, just a coincidence)

I wanted to check it out a while back when looking for reddit alternatives, but not necessarily so much to beg for an invite. I remember back then I tried Hubski instead, but it seems kind of dead now.

Yeah I looked into it but it seems kinda dead to me too.

Ah - I only lurk on there, I don't have an account. I've never felt the need to participate, but that could just be me.
