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.

This pretty much sums up the last couple days. Thankfully we have Beehaw and Mastodon.

It really is remarkable how two giants of the industry lost so much so quickly.

I’m hoping Bluesky does join the fediverse just so I don’t have to jump between apps. Lemmy has been great, but people don’t comment as much. I miss that

I feel like the quality of comments has been higher here. So far anyway 🤣

Bluesky is not to be trusted. They have no interest in joining the fediverse and are doing everything they can to establish an alternative that puts them on the center of the at protocol, so they can become a middleman in all communications and they will try to profit using a crypto angle.

Regarding not commenting as much. Interesting I tend to comment a lot more then I post and when I post it is usually a question I need help with. Sometimes I feel a little bad about not adding posts that much. Only reason I mention this is it makes me feel a little better about my patterns... i.e. more commenting. Thanks.

True. Hopefully not just Bluesky but all user-generated platforms are built on the fediverse. It's just gonna take a lot of time to catch on. The fediverse isnt easy to use for a lot of the non-techies. But getting better!

It’s definitely getting better! The hardest part is finding a local instance that suits you, I think.

It’s a shame BlueSky made its own protocol instead of ActivityPub.
