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.

so the communities that run on a specific instance are dead in the water if that instance is frozen? I thought that maybe the other instances might continue exchanging posts regardless of whether the original instance is currently online

Honestly, I'm not sure. I would hope it could continue with other non-frozen Instances. But in my very limited experience so far, I've seen it do that (click Reply, and turn into a spinning circle) a few times. Just never finishes.
