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 remember around Novemeber trying to get my friends to use other platfrom but Twitter as I removed my account, made twitter account only to talk to them because their too lazy to even just use Discord.. it just so damn annoying

Wait, you can't call, text, email, chat your friends? You have to shout it publicly across the internet? Are you sure they're your friends?

Their my internet friends if that makes sense. Also, I don't like to give out my something like my email or phone number unless I know people enough or at least would see them. Most them are in America so seeing them is slim. (I'm British)

You have to shout it publicly across the internet?

No, I can DM Them and it what I mostly did to keep in contract with them.

Are you sure they’re your friends?

Yeah, their just lazy at best...

Ahhh, Internet Friends. I guess I was lucky enough to never be on Twitter, and honestly, can't figure out how to have enough interaction with anyone on Mastadon to become friends with them. Old school forums and Discord seem to work better for me for that. Too bad they're too lazy.

As someone who has been the admin for a lot of email servers over the years and currently relies on it for certain things, email is an outdated mode of communication.
