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.

This is really the central problem. There's way fewer posts on any given Lemmy/fediverse network compared to the major players, and I've been conditioned by the last 13 years I spent on reddit to have constant interactive stimuli and discussion based on my interests. That doesn't exist here because the communities are so small. Admittedly, yeah, I could post. But I've always been a commenter on existing discussions, not someone who wants to start the discussions myself.
