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 doesn't have much to lose if they did it anyway. (We would lose access to them and vis-versa, but it's Meta after all.)

Meta's only reason to join the fediverse, is to avoid getting hit by antitrust laws in Europe. It's not in their interest to make any incompatible changes... and they can't threaten us "small guys" with reverting to the status quo we chose ourselves.
