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.

Right now it looks like it's a decisive victory for spez, contrary to the article's title.

Of course, the long-term consequences aren't clear yet, the moderator exodus might result in the whole platform becoming too low-quality to sustain the user interaction, leading to people moving away from it.

Sure, and Digg got its way with the redesign back in the day.

Back then, there was an easy and viable alternative. Lemmy, sadly, is neither of those two.

I, for one, just signed up on this website specifically so I can leave reddit
