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.

The app, code-named Project93, will reportedly be named Threads and integrate with ActivityPub. It would be based on Instagram and allow users to sign in with, and migrate their profiles from, Instagram. It appears to have an interface highly resembling Twitter's. Meta's Chief Product Officer, Chris Cox, said "the app was aiming for 'safety, ease of use, reliability' and giving creators a 'stable place to build and grow their audiences.'"

It becomes more and more evident how inept these big tech savants actually are. His greatest achievement is a stolen idea…

Now that you remind me of that it makes even more sense he’s been spinning his wheels 🤔

If this ever comes to fruition I'll be blocking all their instances 100%. I have no interest in zuckerberg harvesting my data even if it's just via my public posts.
