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 don't want to nitpick, but I used the default reddit app and have switched Lemmy based on principal. I don't think most or even many people are like me, but there are a few of us out there that just don't like supporting companies that clearly don't have users interests in mind, and this has been the wakeup call needed to get us off the platform.
The official app is so terrible. I've tried it a couple of times. I think once people are forced to use that, we'll see more folks move away from reddit. Looks like they are already killing browsing on a mobile browser to force you to use the app.
Honestly, I'm almost glad their doing this. Gives me a good reason to leave and stay gone. Reddit as a whole is circling the drain with the constant AI and spam posts.
