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.

No mention of alternatives being in the spotlight that's a bit too bad
To be perfectly honest, Lemmy has had staggering growth regardless of the lack of media attention. And I'm not entirely certain that's a bad thing.
Look at my home instance of lemmy.world, for example. When I joined pre-blackout, we had around 800 members. Now, two server upgrades later, we're at nearly 18,000. If only a fraction of those newcomers stay, it's still enough to jumpstart organic growth, even if it's slow. And it gives us time to really develop.
Maybe that's a glass-half-full outlook, but I'm optimistic.
