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.

Sure I had fun, but was it good for people? Communities of people did good things, not Reddit. Reddit was a great source for hate speech, propaganda, and ads. People did their best to be good in spite of the noise.
Reddit needs to die. People will find each other again, we always do.
Yeah, the communities are not the platform. Reddit's concluded that they've captured the communities on the platform and now continue to enshittify the experience for their gain at our expense. I hope as a community we can prove them wrong about that capture, and watch their userbase evaporate as we migrate somewhere else.
Hell fucking yes, I love this energy.
Same! Reddit created a platform that has been pretty stagnant for years. Most things that made Reddit better for community projects, such as 3rd party apps and browser extensions.
When reddit bought a very popular app, they didn't use it. They released their own inferior version of the app.
