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.

The horizontal blocks UI with post content on the left, and discussion on the right, frankly sucks. Weird font choices across the interface as well.
Scaling costs will be untenable if Squabbles ever starts to gain serious user traction, and then they're in the same predicament as Reddit - you have to monetize somehow in order to pay for the infrastructure. That's either ads, paid subscriptions, or selling your user data.
I don't see how this is any better than Reddit.
