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.

why would I want to keep in contact with the “head in the sand” people

Forget contacts. Imagine Meta has

poured way more developing hours in their fork than the FOSS community ever could
the most effective and easy to use mod tools
the best search tools for finding communities, topics and everything else (by a margin)
free instance hosting
every major wish list feature implemented
a working feed with endless content you actually find interesting
a vibrant community for every niche interest you might have
advanced development so much that it feels a couple versions ahead

The more money they throw at this, the more people will feel tempted to join or at least try their service. It offers objective benefits. It would feel like using lemmy 0.09 when others already enjoy 0.18.
