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.

Tell me about it! It was hard nuking 17 years worth of content–effectively my online identity–but it was the right thing to do.
FWIW, from a Reddit old timer, Lemmy feels a LOT closer to those early days than whatever is calling itself Reddit these days.
I’m really enjoying the vibe of Lemmy so far! Still figuring out how to effectively discover communities on other instances, but I’ll get there eventually.
I’ve been bouncing between a few different iOS apps (all very similar to Apollo) and browsing the All feeds.
Plus an occasional search to try to find replacements for my favorite communities. Not 100% yet but I m digging the fresh start.
Also commenting way more again!
I’ve been using Memmy for that Apollo-like experience, ha ha!
I’ve been trying to comment and post way more, too. Feels nice trying to grow/participate in communities instead of just getting lost in a sea of rage bait. So far I’m liking the slower pace and kinder tone here!
Word! I’ve been bouncing between wefwef & Memmy, and just started trying Mlem today.
And yeah! I realize in retrospect that’s what I loved about Reddit and had to pare things way back to smaller subreddits in order to keep it feeling that way.
I think this platform has a lot of potential.
12 years here.
It was evident that Reddit was not going to play nice the moment Mr. Huffman opened his big trap on network television. Fuck /u/spez, and Fuck Reddit
Lemmy is so much better and it reminds me of what was long lost back in the earliest days of reddit. It's so much nicer here on Lemmy in general.
Initially; I intended to stay in line with the protest and only close for the 2 days initially proposed.
One thing i've been thinking since a recent CatValente essay from a few days ago, regarding Reddit: Saying "Fuck Spez" sounds quite nice and is catchy but kinda makes it feel like Steve Huffman was one of your buddies that betrayed you, and he never was. We should start using his full name, and accordingly distancing us from that person. Let's not give him even the privilege of using a nickname. His name is Steve Huffman and we should stop using "Spez" altogether.
Yes! 17 years too! Mentioned it on a Discord and somebody offered to do it for me, but no, it had to be me, i owed that account at least that.
You know what was surprisingly hard too? Deleting the RemindMeBot reminders. Felt almost as hard.
Can confirm. At least from someone there from 11 years ago when it was still fun.
