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.

First all the bs with Twitter and Elon, then Reddit having an exodus to Lemmy (not complaining lol), then Twitch. Are we like, in an alternate self healing dimension or something?

The reddit exodus is comparatively very small. Tens of thousands of users, many of which will not stick around. Reddit has millions of users (hundreds of millions?). They barely notice.

Let them self destruct.

I'm just glad to have found this place. 😂

On one hand, I can name sites that, in 2023, either screwed over their user base, or just went under.

  • Teknik (obscure file host/git repo host)
  • Enjin (forum host for clans/everyone and their dogs' minecraft servers, rebranded to peddle NFTs)
  • Imgur (currently scrubbing their servers of anonymous uploads/nsfw content)
  • Discord (changing their username system to a bad one)
  • Reddit (charging exorbitant prices for their api; $20m per year for Apollo's developer)

I have been considering a domain name to access hypothetical home servers as of late, just so I don't have to worry about shit like this.
