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 saw a lot of people excited to try it. Losing 80% of its peak users at this point doesn't seem like a failure to me. Anybody who was curious was counted as a user. I'm sure fediverse sites have had similar, smaller influxes of new users that create an account to check it out and then don't come back. It takes some determination to move to another social networking ecosystem.
