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 think most of them just don't even know about Mastadon. I didn't until after Reddit announced it's API changes and people started talking about Lemmy and the fediverse.

I just simply had heard about none of this.

Well, I apologize for my slightly elitist attitude. I sometimes forget just how online I am. I'm glad you're taking a chance on this technology! I hope you come to like it! It's come a long way since I first tried it 7 years ago, and I believe is now viable for people who want to talk about things

I'm a reasonably online person myself, I think it just depends on how deep in specific areas one delves. :)

Instead of diving into the Fediverse, last year I was exploring Royal Road as a place to write and self-publish a serial. While it's getting better known, if you aren't in the writing communities it's less likely that you know about it.
