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 went searching for something today and instinctually clicked on a reddit link. Fortunately the sub was dark for the protest anyway, but it's crazy how ingrained in me it is to go to reddit for everything.

Unfortunately now we're going to have to get used to clicking on those clickbait tech articles like "TOP 10 FACEBOOK ALTERNATIVES 2023" to find information, and weed out the crappy blogs.

There will be archives made available by various groups I'm sure. And that's assuming Reddit doesn't just go undelete all those. Either way I'd guess that certain subreddits/communities will end up finding their new home here or elsewhere and over time the information that shows up on reddit will become more and more stale

If you delete an account now, all the threads it ever commented on will lose context and become useless unless archived already. That's the situation we're in, people are deleting their accounts without thinking about all the content that they have contributed to and destroying it.
