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 are absolutely not over forums especially for niche communities. They're the best source of information on many topics
I still miss forums, they were easy to use, practical and had years, decades, of development, lessons learned and people with experience with them. You also really felt like it's a type of community centered around a specific subject instead of a massive conglomeration of topics like reddit, but that could be just due to relative sizes. I also have to admit I've been spoiled with having all my feed in one place instead of having to open a dozen bookmarks every day and check them manually though, no matter how charming that was at the time.
