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 billionaire proof version of Bluesky is ... Mastodon.
I was really confused when everyone suddenly jumped to Blue sky after the election? Why not mastodon? Made no sense to me at all.
Because Mastodon proved to be too hard for them to figure out. They couldn't work out which instance to use. Then they couldn't work out who to follow. Some people need to be spoon fed.

Also way harder to propagate mis/disinformation to push an agenda. I personally see that as a benefit and not something I want to see changed.
