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.

During the last site-wide protest in 2015 I set up a VOAT account with all the similar subreddits that I had at the time. When people first started suggesting abandoning ship, I thought "Well, at least I still have Voat". Checks Voat. Turned into a alt-rght haven and then shut down in 2020. Dho!

TIL Voat shut down. Shocker.

I also set up a Voat account then and tried using it for a few days, but it did not take off anywhere near like what Lemmy has with this protest.

Yup. I checked Voat several times and checked out when I saw it was alt right bullshit.
