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.

Mastodon is good if you're after following specific people, rather than just general topics.
I've bounced off Twitter and then Mastodon several times because my use for social media is more for link aggregation and discussion, and I don't really necessarily care about who I'm having a discussion with, but rather that there's a good discussion about an interesting topic going on.
I know hashtags are a thing and you can follow them, but I've kinda found them hard to deal with on Mastodon because everyone puts a giant pile of hashtags on everything so you end up following certain tags and like, maybe 1/3rd of the things that show up in the feed are actually really related to everything that was tagged.
I do run an instance and find it's useful for certain things, but I very much prefer the Lemmy approach to content.
