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.

MODERATORS
I've started using Mastodon after the Twitter changes, Lemmy after the Reddit changes, I don't think any website is irreplaceable
Twitter and reddit have externally hosted media, so they consist of mostly text which is easy to host. YouTube has a lot more data to deal with, a federated alternative wouldn't be feasible for literal petabytes of it.
It would have be basically torrent hosted
