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 never said Facebook and Twitter are good, I said they're an important tool for getting non-mainstream/neoliberal viewpoints in front of people. They exist whether we like it or not.
Do the algorithms favor conservative viewpoints? Yep. But that's no reason to just wholesale cede those platforms to the Right.
