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.

Yeah, I love the idea of the fediverse because it creates a democratized community where anybody can choose to listen to who they want. Unfortunately this attracts very clicky users that feel like they own the fediverse and want to push others out. I've seen it a couple times already with people clambering to defederate other instances they don't like. Thankfully we can just choose to not listen to them, lol.
I don't like Facebook and I understand the concerns that Facebook will sort of take over the fediverse from the inside like a parasite. But at the end of the day you can just spin up a vanilla instance and connect with anyone willing to do the same. That's what's great about the fediverse.
You have just made a solution to a problem that shouldn't exist in the first place.
If you're talking about the problem of someone acting like they get to decide who is allowed and what happens on the platform, I agree in principle, but that's why the fediverse exists.
