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.

Well, despite the difficulties translating to Federated platforms, I will certainly be working on alternative social platforms.
I no longer use Quora or Facebook...
I unsubscribed my 'YouTube' channels and added them as RSS feeds, so there's no need for me to be signed in there to consume content from creators I follow.
I hope that a month or two with the Fediverse will allow me to understand it better. I'm sure that many Fediverse users will also remain on Reddit and be able to advise folks on what to do.
If anyone on, for example, r/firefox announced activity over here, I'd follow them here. So whatever the 'bots' say, I know what's occurring in my corner.
Was Quora ever good?
Whomever said there are no stupid questions, has never visited Quora.

Was that Quora as well? I thought that's only StackOverflow :c
But yes, I very much hope that the ethos of beehaw makes for "programming question" communities that are as useful as StackOverflow while not being so rude.
wait, I've never used quora. whats bad about it
@soiling @BendyLemmy the quality of answers is low, you're not missing out
Other than blocking you from browsing their site unless you join (or clear your cookies) you mean?
I realised after a while that Quora is full of dumb question askers and question answerers wanting to sound smart. I earnt $5 from it though so can’t complain
Can you elaborate further on the YouTube - RSS feeds? Seems like something I'd like to use too
