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.

My concern with this (and other attempts like it) is that the initial integration will of course be done with good intentions by a team who shares the values of the community. And then they will get promotions or move to other jobs within two years and leave the technology to whims of revenue-generating part of the organization who will be merciless with it.
In terms of damage to the community, it'll be impossible to talk to the people you want to with ten thousand spamming robots separating you.
Is there a real problem there? One can always find an instance not federated with Meta.
Yeah but, we did already. Right here. I'm assuming that if you're already a fediverse user, it's because you left behind facebook, twitter, and the rest. They're following us and the expectation is just that we'll keep moving as they make the next thing shitty?
Yup, me on the fedi running away from big tech platforms, now meta stalking us even here bro wtf
