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 went searching for something today and instinctually clicked on a reddit link. Fortunately the sub was dark for the protest anyway, but it's crazy how ingrained in me it is to go to reddit for everything.

Unfortunately now we're going to have to get used to clicking on those clickbait tech articles like "TOP 10 FACEBOOK ALTERNATIVES 2023" to find information, and weed out the crappy blogs.

I’ve already opened and quickly closed Apollo a dozen times today. Time to break the habit. Going to start reading instead of doom scrolling.

yeah, it's very difficult. even in google searches, the links come up and I then realize how much I depend on reddit for google searches.

I haven't felt the need to look up anything tbh. I realized I didn't really search reddit specific as much as I thought. Maybe I'm just more practiced and used to sifting through Google results for the info I need. Not sure if web of trust is still reliable?

There is a lot of helpful information there. I hope that some of that can stay as search indexing on archive sites is difficult.

All that said, I just deleted my accounts I had with them. If I use it, it will be without being logged in and only the odd search for something I need.

And hopefully, improvements to platforms like Lemmy grow to where I can search for what I need there or find the best community to ask a question in a few seconds rather than 5-10 minutes. No hate, just where the platform is at right now with the influx.
