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.

Lemmy, too, has algorithms that determine what you see - how many upvotes a post has, how many comments, how recent, etc. The communities you subscribe to may have some high-quality, niche posts that you're very likely to miss because they're overshadowed by bigger, more active communities where posts simply gain more traction - RSS lets you circumvent that.
Sure, I might miss something. But if I wanted to manually curate my feed I wouldn't be here.
I could use RSS and miss high-quality posts too. Much more likely, actually.
