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.

Agreed. There's a lot mixed messaging from the userbase where we're recommended to switch to Mastodon from Twitter but also respect that Mastodon is not supposed to be a Twitter replacement.

It may not be a Twitter replacement, but perhaps it can still fulfill whatever specific needs they're currently fulfilling using Twitter.

I'm not the best person to judge since I never really "got" Twitter in the first place, but the basic function of "announcing a small piece of text to the world" is shared by a whole lot of different platforms.
