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.

There are enough people posting to see a fresh dozen or so posts an hour my Subscribed > New feed and I don't have a ton of subs, mostly STEM. Honestly a few days ago that was a crazy pipe dream. With this kind of mass threshold passed, we only need is to expand the scope/quality of posts and this can be a permanent home that organically draws people to the platform. I think we need a page on the major instances that show the plans and limitations if those hosting the instance and where they need support. Like learning Ruud has a bunch of other federated .world servers and seeing his remarkable ability to handle scale makes me much more confident to be here.
people will have to stick around for this to work though, if the honeymoon period is over and perhaps spez stops being such a knob, people could disappear just as quickly as they appeared
No doubt it will cool off some here, but I like this more and it seems like some others feel the same. I don't think there will be any going back because it won't be the same reddit ever again.
the signal to noise ratio is much higher here, so far
Well, as long as I don't have the Reddit app installed and I can't use my 3rd party apps + I have the Jerboa app under my thumb, it will become my default quickly (it already has now, as I removed 3rd party apps from my home screen).
I wonder how many people will do the same when their 3rd party app does not work.
