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.

It's not about getting the code. They have the code, have for years, and hate it because it forces an open system.
This is about forcing people in "positions of power and authority" over mastodon/lemmy/kbin servers to conform to facebook's wishes so that they can destroy a competing platform.
Google XMPP or Microsoft Word Document style.
It's been done before, the only reason for people to cave now is they're getting paid.
Oh man, I can't wait until Eugen also turns into a corporate cocksucker and back-knifer.
