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 was a good read. Heard about this article for a while, as well as a mention of it on the WAN show and then later on Mastodon. Sums up neatly in my opinion why social spaces should not really be run by private companies, and instead by individuals.
As for Amazon... not sure what the solution for that would be, but the current situation benefits neither customer nor seller. They've practically monopolised retail outside of groceries imo
