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.

One thing I've realized is that people use reddit in all sorts of different ways. I never look at the memes / pic subs, I 99% only care about conversation subs. And pretty specific ones at that, I guess /r/movies and /r/tv might be the most generic, followed by /r/anime - but I also don't spend much time in those subs either.
The subs I spend a lot of time in I can either get the same elsewhere /r/news isn't exactly special for a news feed lol...
And for like /r/askphotography or /r/photography there's discord already, with some mastodon thrown in I guess (though I think thats more like /r/itap).
The ones I hope sort of migrate over are /r/sysadmin but somehow as a work thing I'll just go there on old.reddit.com till that dies, at which point I'll just do without. I expect by then either there'll be other options I'll re-find / find, or maybe GPT replaces it lol.
Yeah, reddit I see is different from the one other people see on /r/all since I have so much stuff blocked on my third party app and through RES on browser. Without it reddit is filled with memes or tiktok and twitter videos and content, which makes sense as the demographic has changed and stuff like following accounts started happening.
I think the new users of Reddit are happy with it, and it's more the long time users who don't make a majority of reddit that are starting to feel pushed out.
There's also stuff like pixelfed for this kinda thing, it's very Instagram like
Though I concede that that isn't necessarily going to give you that same sorta interaction as a forum like Lemmy
