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.

It boggles my mind that anyone, outside of the far-right lunatic fringe, is still on that platform. I left months before Elon Musk showed up, because they weren't doing enough to fight misinformation in 2020, and now it's an absolute dumpster fire. I can only guess there's something like the sunk cost fallacy at work here, and that's why people are reluctant to leave.
Most of my twitter engagement comes from links on reddit funny enough (usually sports related). There's still a few people im interested in following as well so i'll poke my head in here and there. But yeah i certainly don't blame people for leaving the platform entirely. I just try to steer clear of the toxic stuff (which is very tough if you spend longer than 5 minutes on it)
