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.

Twitter's first party app was never as hated as reddit's, was it?

On twitter you follow people, on reddit, you follow subjects. The latter you can move to another platform, even with just partial user migration. The former, not so much.

When you are held by your connection to other users, you're a lot more stuck to a platform. Reddit doesn't have that nearly to the same extent. I feel that's one of the critical mistakes the guy at the top is making.
