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 love the concept of decentralization. Feels more like the internet of old.
This is what I’m most excited about. I’m much younger so didn’t get to experience it like it was back in the day, but I heavily admire how decentralized things used to be where we didn’t have Silicon Valley running the internet. The hard part is I don’t see the masses moving over. But those who do will get a more community centric experience would be my guess rather than feeling like you’re another user in a sea of people
The masses were not in the old internet either. And it was a very cool space.
That’s true! And maybe that’s what allows for the return of those times!
This is also something I really like. Dedicated forums on dedicated web sites for different topics, but this time they're accessible through a single interface and you can communicate across forums.
Exactly! I used to think of reddit like that, until it became something...different. I've found myself going back to old forums instead of reddit lately.
