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.

My experience signing up involved no pain at all and I personally liked having my application screened. I had access within an hour or two, it wasn't a complicated process and I chose beehaw because of it's community

It seems pretty easy to understand signing up, from my perspective. The hard part is understanding how everything is connected

My exact feels. I had never heard of the fediverse or whatever, and still don’t even know if I spelled it right lol.

But I just picked the first server that had a good amount of people on it, off a recommended list, and it’s been fine.

To sign up I had to answer 3 super simple subjective questions. Took 2 mins. Had to wait to get approved, but in the meantime I could still browse so it really didn’t matter.

To me, the hard part was learning lemmy/kbin/beehaw etc existed.
