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.

Well, shareholders, employees and advertisers, wanted it to make money on the users. Even if only 5% users remain, that's still better than the current interest rates after investment fund's fees.

Facebook/Instagram users wanted to check it out, because why not, creating an account was just a couple clicks.

Everyone else... they didn't, and from the looks of it, they still don't.
