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.

It's his site. He will always win. Fuck him and greedy capitalists fucks like him.
PS: Enjoy Lemmy
Dickbutt is here?
It's official. Lemmy is the new it place to be.
Wasn't lemmy created by tankies? Avoided it for kbin (I'm aware of the federation) due to this.
And Reddit has been backed by Tencent - CCP supporters by default - and Peter Thiel - a white supremacists and actual, literal fascist.
The politics of the people behind for-profit endeavours that the public has no actual control over regardless of stake seemingly never comes up. The politics of people behind things that challenge for-profit endeavours and gives control of things back to the public is often under the microscope.
We don't know ernest's politics. What if it came out tomorrow that he was an anarchist? Or that he was also a Leninist? Or was a white supremacist? Or that he liked Nickelback?
I'll see past many things, but Nickelback?
Not even once.
Doesn't matter since they don't and also can't retain control over the network, and the network by and large all defederated lemmygrad.
Lemmy kinda belongs to its users now.
Not until its users actually start developing Lemmy the software.
I mean they are?
You can host an instance, and if the instance is doing something you don't like, you can certainly change it and prevent it from doing it. If the main Lemmy devs put stuff in most people don't like, the software will just get forked, and most instances will use the non-shitty version.
Lemmy is what the majority of users want it to be, since everyone can just start a competing site that's not suffering from the "outside-the-walled-garden" effect, with a different featureset. Users will move to the instance with the best featureset for themselves.
