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.

Because Mastodon proved to be too hard for them to figure out. They couldn't work out which instance to use. Then they couldn't work out who to follow. Some people need to be spoon fed.
And the name is fucking stupid, let's face it
@skribe And there is no algorithmic feed. It's way harder to "go viral" on Mastodon than it was pn Twitter. It's also way harder to consume "exciting" viral content.
That's a feature, but sadly many don't realize that
Also way harder to propagate mis/disinformation to push an agenda. I personally see that as a benefit and not something I want to see changed.
People want to doomscroll though
