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 mean ya, that's not super surprising. The hardest part of getting a site to take off is adoption.
Exactly. I'm trying to spam content here so people think it's more active. I don't really see a problem with Reddit launching with self generated content, the important thing is the user experience once it gets going.
It still feels super small here but it's crazy the amount of users that seem to be joining. Can't wait to see where we are at by the end of the week.
