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 was using Facebook as a means to see whats up in my area, everytime I go on now I scroll till I see something interesting, I get a few mins in and decide it's dead and close out of it.

Facebook once was a great tool for local postings, it's now gone to shit. I am really hoping to see another platform, preferably in the fediverse take it's place.

dot com is coming to an end, and people are seeking alternatives, I just hope it isn't a total fragmentation of the masses.

The last time I scrolled through my Facebook feed, I saw more ads than actual posts from people I'm friends with. I couldn't spend more than a few minutes on there considering it was like 1 in 8 posts was by someone I follow or am friends with and the rest were ads.
