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.

The social-media Web as we knew it, a place where we consumed the posts of our fellow-humans and posted in return, appears to be over.

The social media web was literally the start of the decline. There used to be thousands of niche internet forums, now everything is in a AOL style walled garden.

The AOL garden was amazing as a kid, lately I've been wondering if there's going to be something similar for my baby when she gets older.
