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.

And please don't say they're moving to bluesky. That's just jumping out of the pot and into the flames.
I don't think blueskys that bad. At least not yet. I'd prefer a fully featured federated thing but the fact is mastodon just doesn't appeal to most people.
Blueskys moderation capabilities at least are quite nice atm
Yep, the moment you have to explain it, you've already lost; the normies will check out. That's the thing, these sites depend on having a huge userbase and people just aren't going to go to a site with "nobody on it". I maintain an account on both Mastodon and Bluesky... they're both pretty neat in their own way. But Mastodon isn't ever going to be the virtual town square. I kinda like it quiet there, tbh.
