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 signed up to it from instagram to track my favorite epidemiologists and h5n1 only to discover it has no hashtag system to look up trending topics and most of my favorite epidemiologists aren't even on it. So it's worthless for even following COVID, avian flu, and probably every other news topic.
I thought it was explicitly anti-news and politics?
Ah well that would be why it's completely pointless to me. Since all science is politicized now, I guess there is no reason to use it.
Being attached to Instagram is really the only reason it took off imo. Of course all the normal Insta users are going to at least try it out because it's so "easy" to sign up.
