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.

Nailed it! Noone cares about who writes what but everyone cares about what is written.
I too realized how easy it is to jump ship, I started here before the AMA and even if it's been only a few days, I already feel at home, lots of interesting discussions and news going and that's all I need.
I don't agree on going back if reddit backpedals though, I mean, of course everyone has to decide for themselves and I respect that, but being on a platform led by the most arrogant, disrespectful, blatantly lying, stupid, dangerous even individuals (let's not forget spez editing user's comments) is not for me.
I want to be on a service managed by smart people that I can trust, reddit lost my trust completely and they won't get it back.
I agree about going back myself. Unfortunately I suspect most others would take the path of least resistance, especially if it means Apollo and other apps might come back.
I haven't personally used Apollo (I've just used Joey on my tablet because the reddit app doesn't support landscape), but it would be great to see the dev host a lemmy server and point the app to it.
@joyjoy testing a reply to my new Lemmy friend… 😁
It's not even the first issue - remember when they hired and defended that British paedophile too - even when he was covering up news stories about his own family?
Yeah it's been an escalation of bad facts, we've been very forgiving, but for me now it's the moment to say enough is enough.
