Nothing agains this place, but it is VERY cumbersome to get going. Squabbles seems super responsive and intuitive. I’ll be using both!

Seems pointless to switch to a different closed-source, centralized platform. Why would this be any different from Digg or Reddit? Switching to a federated system is the only way to make sure that cycle doesn't repeat.

yeah, I read the introduction that someone elses written for emigration, it naturally guides to toward using lemmy(or whatever more suitable fediverse alternatives). You do not want to repeat the same mistake of putting all that efforts into a community that you basically surrenders all data to who owns that domain/company.

For fediverse I can like just start my own instance or migrate and create a new account with ease, if an instance owner decides to close or transfer ownership of the server. The information is still available somewhere else. (I think later down the road it might be possible to migrate community content you created with scripts just like how you can nuke all you post history with reddit.)

Fool me once. Shame on Digg. Fool me twice. Shame on Reddit.

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.
