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.

It's insane the rate that we're losing our core social media platforms. I'm off of Facebook, Twitter, and now Reddit... I'm really hoping that this community will help me fill those voids :)
I really think Lemmy and the Fediverse achieve the original reddit vision better than the VC-funded bullshit reddit has become. I've only been in this little fediverse for this weekend and already it feels like the beginnings of reddit did, back in 2008 and 2009.
Totally agree with that. I was just checking my Reddit account and it looks like I signed up in 2011, so I'm not sure how much things changed in those first few years, but I love how this site reminds me of the original reddit I knew
I think social media is a dead stick. I can't put in words what's next, but it's both scarier and more amazing. Whatever it is. But we are basically in 2006/2007 all over again, where everything we are used to is being snatched away from us.
I wasn't too big of a participant in the internet during those years, I'm excited to be able to start growing my list of platforms
