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.

Seen on Bluesky minutes ago.

From the mission page:

We're betting on services built on open protocols like ActivityPub and ATProto, and focused on making it easier to connect and move between platforms. We will work directly with developers to continue ensuring competition in the open social web, with a focus on advocating for users every step of the way.

I'm bridging my main Mastodon account with bluesky, but I'm fully expecting this service to disappear soon enough. I remember when Twitter, Facebook, and a bunch of other sites allowed crossposting until someone realised they were driving traffic away from their own site and shut it down. I think it was Facebook. I can't remember. Same is likely to happen here, or they'll charge an exorbitant fee for API access like Reddit. For now though, it kinda works.

I used to interact with Facebook via email. That didn't last. But neither did my use of Facebook.
