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.

Too many better alternatives. Reddit (yeah, even after spez's shit, Reddit is still better than Quora), Stack Overflow/Exchange, and now ChatGPT.

The noJS frontend Quetre even let you browse it without having to log in. I used it for a hot minute before realizing the answers on Quora were generally hot garbage.

It's a reminder that not all of the old web was better, despite our collective nostalgia.

I think Reddit really enjoys the power of community effort. r/science removed every single personal anecdote, for example.
