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.

If people are looking for alternatives that won't be shut down, you... recommend they look to Google!? Ahahahahaha!
Seriously, the graveyard is pretty extensive: https://killedbygoogle.com/
I'm still bitter that they killed Inbox. It was superior to Gmail in every way.
It really was. I miss inbox.
Oh man, I knew there were a lot but I had no idea.
I remember when Google Wave was demo'ed to a live audience, there were audible ooohs and aaahs from the crowd. It was such a mindblowing idea 14 years ago, shame it never really got off the ground.
Two things killed it.
First, it was a slow resource hog. Second, it was productivity software at a time when work IM was hard to get people to use.
Google wave wasn’t really killed. It’s functionality is pretty much built into google docs.
And they won't stop until they kill killedbygoogle by having it run out of storage space.
Guys we swear this time is different. We are totally going to stick with it
"Google, thanks for inviting us all to the launch of perspectives! What are your goals with this new platform?"
"Perspectives? Perspectives on what? Who are you people? how did you get in here? Would you like to hear more about our new weekly meat-delivery service?"
"oh. . . . Uhm, sure. . . . Where is your product sourced from?"
"where is what sourced from?"
It's real this time time, gais, promisssss

It's not an alternative to Reddit. It's an alternative to adding "site:reddit.com" to your search query.
