Been using the fediverse since the 1st of June, don't miss reddit at all. As a matter of fact, it's made me realize just how plagued reddit had become with bots and ads and just terrible communities of hate and perversion. I was on reddit for like 13 or 14 years and since it was a slow process I didn't realize how awful a lot of the site had become. So glad to have left.

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.

Can't wait for Beehaw to have 7 or so golden age years before we drop this place. But it's gonna be a great time in between.
I wish I could say the same honestly. I mean, I don’t really miss browsing Reddit, but I miss some of the smaller communities that haven’t made their way over here (or are so tiny here that there’s no discussion), and I hate how many of my Google queries point me to Reddit links because I refuse to open them on my phone
@argo_yamato I’m curious how well interactions from Mastodon to Beehaw work, as I think that the opportunities for a unified ID across instances and “instance types” is a huge strength of the fediverse.
It really is remarkable how two giants of the industry lost so much so quickly.
I’m hoping Bluesky does join the fediverse just so I don’t have to jump between apps. Lemmy has been great, but people don’t comment as much. I miss that
I won’t touch anything with Dorsey’s name attached. Yuck.
Bluesky is not to be trusted. They have no interest in joining the fediverse and are doing everything they can to establish an alternative that puts them on the center of the at protocol, so they can become a middleman in all communications and they will try to profit using a crypto angle.
