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 exchange is about Meta's upcoming ActivityPub-enabled network Threads. Meta is calling for a meeting, his response is priceless!

what are your mixed feelings? truly, what do you think is the positive of meta getting involved?

[–] nzodd@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not op but one positive is making their users aware of the existence of the Fediverse and providing an opportunity for non-meta servers to take up some of those same users. The question is what means are available to do that without putting the community at risk.

There is no chance a Meta version of an instance will do anything to make its users aware of alternatives. That's beyond wishful thinking. Instead they'll leverage the work done by others to make a walled garden for their users.
