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.

There are plenty of weird blogs, just look up The Small Web. There are less weird blogs that make money, but I can't say that I'm overly sad about that.
The headline is a little misleading: This isn't really about small blogs, but more about how Private Equity harvests smaller companies, and leaves their husks to rot. That is a very legitimate problem that needs some serious solutions.

Lots of great communities there. And rss is still king ;)
Totally! I keep hearing about the "death of RSS", and yet, that's how I follow most of my online media.
Yeah Ive seen those articles too. Yet even new social media like blue sky supports rss without an account. Everything on the fediverse does too. Its fantastic.
RSS support is absolutely my favorite old-web thing that's still around. It truly is fantastic to have your own curated RSS feeds.
The Fediverse specifically lets you create them really granularly as well!
