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.

It feels like all the people clamoring to get onto threads are like wanabe influencers n stuff. Or they are motivated by the crowd, the fear of missing out. And the signs seems to pointing towards a lot of bigots being platformed on there too, and it's telling that all these people clamoring to get on there don't seem to care they are signing up to be in the same space as the bigots.
I love mastodon for its small town vibe. Gay people everywhere tooting hug emojis constantly. People posting pics of their gardens or their art. Not a bigot in sight. No one selling me anything except small struggling artists who I actually want to support. I love it.
