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.

A very detailed article about the whole Meta (Instagram/Threads) vs. Fediverse discussions. It's a long read, but well-worth it if you're interested in the subject.

Not convinced by the e-mail analogy rebuttal. There are plenty of small e-mail providers thriving alongside the giants.

Indeed. It's a bit of fake news that the e-mail market is dominated by a handfull of big players. It's enterely possible to self-host a small e-mail server and have to e-mail accepted without problems. Of course, don't run and open relay, and make sure your reverse dns and DMARC and DKIM records are correct.
