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.

Turns out if you get rid of ads and the algorithm, you end up back in the land of sanity.

Also obscurity, practically none of the content creators or companies I followed on Twitter have moved to Mastodon and getting news from them was the only purpose of that site in the first place (for me).

This is the biggest problem with new social sites, the main reason for having them is the people on them (or not on them).

Which is part of why we should want all the popular social sites to be federated, so that holding the userbase doesn't create an insurmountable monopoly and you can easily move to a better alternative without leaving your friends and content behind
