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 decided to jump before I was pushed and bin off Apollo the weekend before the strikes started. This place existing made that jump a lot easier I think!

I imagine the devs have stats on uninstalls - I wonder what they show.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall at Reddit HQ right now in general!

@mobyduck648 @Deebster Who cares what Reddit thinks anymore. IF they do bring back third-party apps I will use Reddit, Mastodon and lemmy regardless. Reddit messed up big time

I had the official Reddit app because there was one function that it could do that my 3P couldn't. But I decided the hell with it and uninstalled it yesterday. I assume I'm not the only one.

And meanwhile, I can't say that I'm holding strong. I still have no desire to go back to Reddit. No strength is required!
