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.

Dumbasses continue to use the platform then bitch about it. Either stop using it, or shut the fuck up.

This. Twitter is now under ownership and control of a spoiled fascist richboy and this is absolutely 100% transparently clear. This is how the platform is now and it is not going to change. Twitter as we knew it is gone. It's dead and not coming back. Move the hell on, people, please. Stop supporting this absolutely wretched waste of oxygen.

I've never used twitter in my life, still have a vague interest in what Musk is doing to it though.

It's never that simple. Politicians use it, businesses use it, world news has been made on it. Regardless of whether you use Twitter or not, it has been and is used to sway public opinion. You can NOT use it all you want, but it can still have an effect on your life.

That is, unless you can convince literally everyone else to stop using it.
