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.

Tech media is picking up on the changes to Mastodon's sign up process, where the default option is now Mastodon.social. I don't think funneling more people to one mega-instance is a good idea..

I think mastodon needs a account creation wiszard that asks what the user is interested in. Once it gets that information it should have the user choose between 3 different instances.
