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 itâs 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 theyâre wrong, or use a Linux distro you donât like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

During the FediForum conference on Tuesday, Metaâs Peter Cottle showed off a brief demo of how users will eventually be able to connect their accounts and posts to the fediverse.As you can see in the video below, which FediForum shared with The Verge, Cottle can navigate to his Threads account settings and toggle on an option called âfediverse sharing.â Meta will then show a pop-up explaining what exactly the fediverse is, along with some disclaimers Meta will flag to users so they know what theyâre getting into.
First, Meta notes that users will need to have a public profile to toggle on the feature, something Instagram head Adam Mosseri has already mentioned.
In other words, your post may still be visible on, say, a linked Mastodon server, even if you decide to delete it with Threads.
âI think this is a downside of the protocol that we use today, but I think itâs important to let people know that if you post something and another server grabs a copy, we canât necessarily enforce it,â Cottle says.
The FediForum is an online event that gives developers the opportunity to show off what theyâre working on in the fediverse.
