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.

As a person who does not use Twitter, is Mastodon worth checking out? Or is it just Twitter: Fediverse Edition (Also Without Elon Musk!)
It is twitter:fediverse edition, but without the algorithm showing you content you're interested in so you just get random thoughts from unknown people. Some people prefer it that way, I personally struggle finding useful or interesting things in my feed.
Agreed with this.
A few years back it seemed better: fewer people meant recognised faces, regular chats, and almost a community feeling. I was in some kind of Linux instance.
Being much younger than most threw people off though, and I ended up feeling a little...on-the-outside and left.
I hopped on a week back and it feels so different now. Less community-oriented and all I find interesting is searching a hashtag and leaving.
I don't know, maybe reddit (before the death) and lemmy have spoiled me, it just seems like random thoughts above all now.
Half of the "utility" comes from following people and hashtags that interest you. From there, use boosts and such to follow the people that continue to be fun to read. I haven't gotten bored with my feed since taking a more active approach to choosing what I see.
