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?

Let them self destruct.

The services are getting worse (more ads, no free API, removing feautures etc.), because of lacking competition they could do it without much consequences. Social media is a natural monopoly, why would anyone want to use a service where no user generated content is? In recent years the services became so bad that many users decided to actually use alternatives instead of sticking with the established platforms. If Lemmy can get a big enough user base it will thrive, otherwise it will be forgotten in a few months.

That's a nice way to think of it, I've felt I must be on the bad alternate timeline for a while now. Maybe this is a healing branch!
