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.

Anyone still on Twitter (who doesn’t absolutely need to be on Twitter for their job) must either enjoy harassing others or somehow enjoy being harassed?

I have no clue why anyone who isn’t a right-wing dingbat would use Twitter for fun or whatever. It’s so not fun to be on a platform run by a little manbaby, for a little manbaby.

Reasons I'm still on Twitter:

  1. Porn
  2. I follow a lot of sex workers because I support sex workers and sex worker rights and, unfortunately, Twitter is the only platform left for sex workers (Thank you Kamala Harris & SESTA/FOSTA!)
  3. It's still a good place to quickly hear about breaking news like mass shootings or whatever

who doesn’t absolutely need to be on Twitter for their job

does this include journalists who would need to actually write articles instead of just embedding 10 tweets and writing a couple linking sentences

Oh, of course! Stealing content for clickbait in lieu of actually doing your job is the use case for twitter.
