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?

Also pretty much everyone 25-45 in my local area is still very much using Facebook.

In my area (metro big city), the only way to get anything accomplished from an advocacy/fundraising aspect is through facebook. There's just no alternative unless literally everyone shifts to an alternative that hasn't been created yet.

Facebook is big in paintball circles. As much as I hate to say it their format works exceedingly well for organizing and buying/selling. As long as we censor appropriately it's arguably the best format we've had thus far and I'm not sure anyone would be willing to part with it for a new platform.
