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.

Agreed, it's honestly kinda refreshing to have a space with smaller, more engaged communities. The conversations I've had so far on here have been much more enjoyable than most I've had on reddit in the past few years.

This is what I’ve liked the most about mastodon. Large communities do not mean better. Also the less content there is to consume, the more I think and share.

I’m already checking lemmy more regularly than I am checking Reddit.

exactly

keep the low effort users on twitter/reddit and it makes the conversations on mastodon/lemmy feel a million times more fulfilling and engaging because the people that are here actually put in some effort to join

That is 100% my experience with mastodon. A large user base does not mean better.
