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.

Am I living in a different planet from the rest of the commenters here? We have much more to gain from this than they do.
Imagine making an open protocol and shocked pikachu facing when corporations use it. So are we gatekeeping now? Isn't the whole purpose of Fendiverse so people can set up their own servers with their own rules with no gatekeeping?
There's no gatekeeping about who can use the protocol, but individual instances can gatekeep who gets to federate with them. There needs to be a subset of the Fediverse that does not federate with Meta, if this is to survive as a community outside of corporate control.
