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.

I think you're right to a point, but also, the whole fragmented fediverse thing is going to have to... at least be simplified if the "lurking voter" mainstream are going to end up here.

"It's federated, so you have to choose an instance! They're all different, but they can all talk to each other! Some of them have different rules. Oh, and they can all have their own 'videos' community, so you have to decide which ones you want to follow. Also some of the instances are kbin and some are Lemmy, but most likely the website you log into won't be called either of those things. And if you don't curate your own frontpage (which doesn't even show your subs by default) you'll just see everything at once!"
