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.

Great writing on the current Reddit saga. The author put down in words a lot of things in my mind I couldn't find the right words.

Could not agree more. I said basically this, less eloquently after a day of being on sh.itjust.works.

What's even cooler here is I feel we have the opportunity to have neighboring villages: I'm a villager in my instance, you're a villager in your instance, and civility and understanding is promoted because we are in a real sense representatives of our respective villages. We don't want to make our villages look bad.

As these instances & communities stabilize and mature over the coming weeks/months, I'm very excited to see what happens next.

Such a nice point! You gave me something to think about now :) In a way, while you are still anonymous, the instance gives you an outside identity. You don't have to remember the username to "know someone from the village" in a way the author describes it, the instance kinda already gives you this.
