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.

Can I get an eli5 on digg? It seems to have happened years and years before I joined reddit
Same but different. The site sold out and made some changes that were good for investors, but bad for users. It also happened to slashdot. When that went bad, we all went to digg.
Looking back, I'm surprised reddit lasted as long as it did. Digg and slashdot still exist, but aren't what they were in their heyday. I'm sure reddit will continue in some form.
Wild time. Remember that brief offshoot to voat?
I'll be darned, looks like voat shut down a few years ago.
Honestly, good riddance. That place was a cestering fesspool.
It was quite toxic indeed. I think that's what sent most people who tried it back to reddit.
