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 think kbin has an opportunity to address the toxicity. The anonymous nature of Reddit really lends itself to faceless road rage culture where people feel safe behind their keyboard. If kbin can really push itself as a Mastodon + Reddit platform where everyone has social connections, then maybe it takes away some of that anonymous feeling.
I’m here for anonymity and it was one of the first things I loved about reddit.
I too am here for anonymity. I signed up with lemmy because it didn't even require an email address so I didn't need to go through the process of generating a throw away like kbin does. I like that I could just have discussions with users without knowing anything about them and it only being a topic of interest that brought about the conversation. Then departing from the conversation not remembering who the user was aside from the nice discussion.
