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.

Puts to words a lot of my feelings about mainstream social media.
It's a big ball of algorithms that skew "communication platforms" away from facilitating the thing they were created for.
If you're not spending as much time in comment sections, actually reading what people have to say, and writing responses, as you do scrolling, that media ain't "social".
And the communication that does occur on most platforms, is parasocial. While that's not inherently bad, facilitating only that kind of "exchange", is.
Yes exactly! It's much more "media" and not much "social" these days.
