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.

When you type up a DM on Mastodon, there's a little popup notice that appears next to the text box that says:

Posts on Mastodon are not end-to-end encrypted. Do not share any sensitive information over Mastodon.

IMO the platform handles informing users about this responsibly.

Exactly! Mastodon was not conceived to be a private sharing space.
