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.

It would be neat for Lemmy to have something like it. It's a great way to self fund in an engaging way.
There probably needs to be a foundation or something that can distribute funds to instances though to prevent heavy consolidation by way of simple popularity based funding 🤔
My beef with them is it gives a comment an artificially high "vote" which tends to dominate the discussion (people feel it's a higher quality comment point), even if the content on its own doesn't merit it.
