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.

We thank Elon for his effort in getting people to the fediverse 🙏🙏
Elon is doing more than most to showcase the failures of our systems and the downsides of billionaires
Thank you, comrade Elon
The question is do we actually want everyone from twitter to be here?
If the instances properly moderate according to their rules and ban rule-breakers, then yes.
The toxic users will coagulate into isolated instances instead
I don't even want the people that are here to be here
People here are mostly cool, But it does feel like more and more of the obnoxious redditors are discovering this place.
Hey! I resemble that remark!
You seem pretty cool actually.
This guy obnoxiouses.
Wait, no, that's not right.
Uh, instructions unclear, dick stuck in Reddit? How's that?
All you need to do is just post THIS
THIS
Edit: Thanks for the gold, kind stranger.
Yeah I can’t tell if the internet is just a pedantic place or if it’s the same people that made reddit insufferable coming here.
I know I just described the same thing…
Make use of your blocks early, folks
We’re happy to serve 🙃

I was seriously considering twitter an option when he bought it, but thanks to his effort I am all in Fediverse.
I was never big on Twitter, I’m here thanks to Spez.
As much as I agree with the author, I’m also skeptical to bet against Musk.
On the other hand, Twitter is a mess he got himself into - not a project he actually pursued.
With that in mind I’ll give him (a very generous) 20-30% chance that X lives on to actually be a somewhat relevant platform of sorts and hasn’t gone belly up within the next two years.
Mostly because of the gravity Twitter had and the following that Musk has, not because the ideas seem like sound business concepts.
