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.

So Elon gutted Twitter, and people jumped ship to Mastodon. Now spez did... you know... and we're on Lemmy and Kbin. Can we have a YouTube to PeerTube exodus next? With the whole ad-pocalypse over there, seems like Google is itching for it.

I don't disagree, but it's been less than a month. The story is actively unfolding, and it is a big deal for people who spent a lot of time there. I give it maybe one more month, during which time the API is getting killed and all the 3PAs will shut down, after that, there won't really be much new to say. People are going to keep finding their way to the fediverse, and they're going to want to talk about how much it sucks that Reddit killed Reddit. But give that a few weeks and they'll get tired of that and just want to talk about actual stuff. And the communities will be here.

Heck, they may be small but I've already been able to get questions answered about some topics of interest just by posting on a relevant board and waiting a day.
