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.

I actually think conceptually "Pebble" is a great name for a social media site if you lean into the "drop a pebble in a pond and it ripples outward = even the smallest person can reach a large group of people with their message."
At least it MEANS something, unlike whatever "X" is supposed to represent (a name so bad, it's STILL usually followed by "formerly Twitter" whenever it's mentioned by anyone)
Following that concept, a platform called Ripple where individual posts are called Pebbles and responses/reshares are called Waves wouldn't be half-bad, branding-wise.
