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.

Kbin is also written in PHP where as Lemmy in Rust, nuff said
Is that why KBin never works for me, but multiple Lemmy instances do? Lol
Probably not the reason. Rust is just more systems level and performant than interpreted PHP
Lol. Love this place. I make a joke, but get an actual explanation in return. Thanks!
Cuz we nerds
Also Lemmy has been kicking around as a hobby project for a couple years. kbin.social, the flagship kbin instance, was first opened in April. They haven't even made tools for starting new instances easily yet, and went from a few hundred users to tens of thousands of users basically overnight. It's a miracle that kbin.social is even still running at all.
