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.

Yup, having a name is a pretty important aspect of growth. And while the fediverse could certainly work, it's not very intuitive for new users and also covers such a broad range of functionalities that it won't help people who are specifically looking for a Reddit alternative. Sure 'lemmy' is a misnomer, but it's better to have a name being used incorrectly than no name at all.
