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.

I mooched over to Twitter yesterday to gawp at the car crash, and saw a number of people begging for Bluesky invites. And all I could think is that Mastodon is right there already, working essentially the same way…
I tried signing up for an account on the main instance of Mastodon but couldn't because they were having technical difficulties.
Mastodon.social? Yeah, they'll have been getting absolutely hammered yesterday.
It's worth signing up to a smaller server if you can find one. It's really easy to migrate your follows and followers to a different server (though you'll lose your post history).
