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.

A very detailed article about the whole Meta (Instagram/Threads) vs. Fediverse discussions. It's a long read, but well-worth it if you're interested in the subject.

Just let these instance owners do what they want ? 🤷 If they want to pre-emptively defederate, that's fine, let them. There will be instances happy enough to federate with them. Once there's trouble, they'll probably defederate.

The great thing about social media, is that you don't have to reach everybody - you just need to reach your community. If your community isn't on GAFAM then defederating won't change the experience.
