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.

Meta is already the dominant social network, and yet here we are. They can't take that back, they can't stop people from spinning up their own ActivityPub instances (if you don't know how, go to YounoHost and do it the simple way), Meta can't stop these instances from communicating among themselves in any way their owners see fit.
Sure, Meta can lock out whoever they want out of Threads... but that's the status quo already: the whole fediverse is currently "locked out" from Threads, they can't lock it out any more.
As for climate change, the time to do something was over 125 years ago... so yeah, that boat has sailed many many times over:
