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.

Agreed on all points, but re: Lemmy.world, not Kbin.

I just installed the Liftoff app which defaults to showing Lemmy.world and posts there are just like /r/popular from the last few years, with lots of shitposting, low effort comments, and mean-spirited memes. That side of Reddit is why I was only subbed to niche communities.

Here feels like Reddit circa 2010, where people use upvotes to highlight thoughtful/insightful content.

It was particularly jarring on Lemmy.world seeing thoughtful posts supporting a different view being downvoted.

Anyway, fully agreed. Beehaw is my Reddit replacement. I just need to start posting more links again, which I mostly stopped doing on Reddit like a decade ago.
