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 hope there's enough information there for refugees to arrive here safely
I own a subreddit that I'll admit that it isn't the largest but I'm going to be putting a link to the new corresponding Kbin magazine in the private message. I'm hoping other subreddits will as well
You're doing the lord's work
There have been some privacy concerns regarding Lenny's implementation (deleted posts and whatnot). Which has kept some users second-guessing the change. I have tried aether before coming here, but sadly, there are not enough people there.
I just hope that the community from Reddit doesn't spread itself out too much :(
Why? Decentralisation is a good thing.
Only if the community and information don't get fragmented into smaller and smaller hard to find places.
You mean, like Discord? There's decentralisation which works (Fediverse) and decentralisation which doesn't (gated/closed off communities like Discord).
It's important for resiliency, but I'm afraid that many communities will loose a lot of value when they don't agree on a place to go
what's the value about? Maybe they can form multiple communities? Not everything has to be connected. It's also OK to be disconnected or spread out as a community from time to time.
It’s more complicated than signing up for Reddit, but really just by 1 degree.
I’m lurking Reddit a bit on Apollo still and see so many posts that have “Grandma trying to figure out a smartphone” energy making it seem like some insurmountable task, or complaining about the questionnaire without stopping to realize what a tidal wave of signups is happening.
Perhaps it’s for the best. If people can’t be bothered for something so simple, they might not be good fits anyways.
