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 wish. I’ve tried to curate mine as such.
My mastodon feed is awash in spam from authors hucking their LLM generated stories. Constantly. And random low viewer count streamers spamming hashtags every hour 24/7.
It’s crazy how much LinkedIn-like sociopathy is out there right now. Makes sense given the huge spike in new accounts we’ve had in the last month.
Are you following a lot of hashtags? To me that was just a recipe to disaster, my feed almost became as deranged and unhinged as the "federated" feed which at times made twitter look tame. I mostly just follow a few people now that seemed like they are posting interesting stuff, hoping their boosts or favorites would lead to other like-minded people (it didn't).
