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.

Yeah, I had that moment yesterday. Sat on the shitter and immediately opened Apollo. Closed it a second later. Won’t happen anymore after Apollo is gone, tho.
Delete it now, start breaking the habit. I had to do the same.
I replaced the location on my phone with Mlem! It’s been helping
Yeah, once Boost is gone for good I won't have any way to go back even if I wanted to. I'll just have to find my pretty pictures somewhere else, l'll suck it up and fix my tumblr accounts, make them look like a real human owns them instead of a bot so people won't block me :p
I'll eventually go poking around kbin too and maybe finally actually use the mastodon accounts I made.
I like the threadiverse well enough for general scrolling and chatting, but given the smaller user group right now, I think tumblr will be my replacement for fandom things like Dragon Age, TES, Zelda, and probably Starfield (haven’t checked the tags over there to see if people are posting fan stuff about it yet or not).
I love tumblr for lurking, but never really found my footing there for interacting myself, the whole thing of tumblr (and twitter in a way) of having a page and followers and all that always felt a bit intimidating, i guess? I think that's what i like the ost of forums like these or reddit. Just coming up and answering a post on a forum like this feels natural and on tumblr felt so out of pocket for me.
I'm sure that a me problem and i'll figure out , and it'll probably be one those "oh, that looked much harder before" once i do figure it out, i'll just start by talking to myself and see who i find.
I agree. I like the idea of communities, rather than following specific people. I like the slight feeling of separation when it is community based. Both have their place, though.
Oh for sure, on tumblr I interact pretty rarely - just like and reblog things. though I think I was on tumblr before there was fuss around changes to the reply system and I'd reply to posts occasionally (on smaller more personal chatty blogs) – but when I went back recently the reply system seems exactly like I remember so maybe they listened to their users whenever that kerfuffle happened!
get mlem and put it in the same spot as where your apollo app for is today
