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 swear to god the people arguing against the fediverse are fake, their arguments are so unimaginably bad that I can't imagine they aren't coming from a disinformation campaign
It wouldn't be surprising:
Oh my gosh, someone needs to contact tech news orgs
Like Ars Technica?
Even the user names are formatted in a similar fashion.
That's reddit's auto-generated username format. Most bots use those.
Hey, some of us just lack imagination.
Looks exactly like all the arguments against net neutrality when that fiasco went down.
The ELI5 thread yesterday where someone was asking about what was happening looked very similar to this. Nearly everyone in that thread was saying the reddit app was great and people woild be back after the protest. The upvotes just seemed fake to me, is all. One upvoted comment even said the apollo dev was lying, which confused me. Was that spez? Who knows.
That essentially how I see the internet lately on mainstream platforms... You see a lot of posters are basically putting out the most toxic crap imaginable that you essentially learns not to look at comments in certain communities particularly the News website. From all of that experiences, you can see how "Dead Internet Theory" have a lot of merit especially now that "shadowbanning" is common.
