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 has the better feature set and UX. Some things I like:

Threaded comment replies (though they display differently from Lemmy's).
Antennae for discoverability.
- Can use hashtags AND keywords.
- Can filter results by instance.
- Can create multiple timelines to display content in.
Customizable UI via widgets.
I think the theming options are better.
Full-text search.
Quote posts.
Cat mode.

You can put cat ears on your avatar and they wiggle when you hover your mouse over them.
