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 exchange is about Meta's upcoming ActivityPub-enabled network Threads. Meta is calling for a meeting, his response is priceless!

Yeah large EEE on ActivityPub feels like almost a given if they start to use it.

But should you block people from embracing a good thing, just because you're scared they'll try to extend and extinguish?

no one is preventing people who have facebook or instagram accounts from joining the fediverse by blocking meta. what they are doing, is preemptively taking action to ensure an immoral company doesn't do exactly what it has shown itself to be in it's nature to do.

Thanks for answering "the Yang" so that I don't need to :-)

Remember, don't feed the trolls !

Yes, this is exactly what you are doing.
Because they would have joined the fediverse with that account, if meta wouldn't be blocked.

I really wish kbin had user tagging just so I could tag you as a "leopards eating faces" party member.
