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 a fantastic point. On lemmy you follow communities and the people specifically arent as important. On mastodon its all about people as it was designed to be

That succinctly summarizes how I feel about Mastodon; I really want to like it, but I just don’t have the energy to join in on a constant flow of random thoughts, even from people I like.

Yeah, i was telling a masto friend the other day that reddit and lemmy are much less personal. You may very well never see the same username again which is fine imo because that person was only interacting with one of your interests. On mastodon you follow the person and get to know their opinions on topics you really had no interest in
