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.

I've seen people scoffing at the idea that federated services can become popular due to how hard it is to understand, but it's actually quite easy when you think of it using this analogy.
Yes, but the sign up prices can be annoying. I tried signing up at a bunch of different instances and it never went through. I'm addition finding communities is a little painful. But all in in a big fan of it.
Finding communities can be painful indeed, and there are a few other wrinkles that I hope will be ironed out over time, like having the ability to hard delete posts and comments and having a setting to disable autorefresh.
There needs to be a directory that is universal.
