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.

Thanks again for the comprehensive write-up. Account recovery was my main concern, but I don't know much about blockchain technology, so I didn't say anything. I just remember that I registered with a video platform that's blockchain based (forgot the name) and then, I accidentally discarded the password manager entry for it instead of saving the password. Password restore wasn't possible, "because that's how blockchains work".

About the moderation and administration tooling that Lemmy has (or doesn't have): I don't think this project was ever meant to be as big and important as it is right now. I guess we can see a lot of changes soon. I personally can't program in Rust, but I'm planning to start a small PHP project tomorrow for a small admin and mod web panel that directly interacts with the database to have a GUI for some tasks that requre fiddling with the database at this point in time.

A link aggregator and forum for the fediverse.

It is an easily self-hostable, decentralized alternative to Reddit and other link aggregators, outside of their corporate control and meddling.

Well this is Exactly what it is billed as....

Damn. Yes, well... Can't argue with that.
