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.

Should we all leave the Fediverse since there are thousands of evil assholes that develop and use it?

I mean, no. The real solution is to move to better software which aren't developed by assholes or to seize the development away from the assholes.

As for the ones that use it the solution there is for admins and users to be liberal with the block and ban buttons.

Nobody's stopping anyone from forking open source software.

If you don't have the expertise or time/money, nobody's stopping you from starting a GoFundMe or whatever, and hiring some devs you like.

I don’t believe there will ever be a solution that will please everyone.

[–] SweetCitrusBuzz@beehaw.org 5 points 23 hours ago

I don't think I ever suggested pleasing everyone just those of us who need safety and protection. Which sadly there's a stunning lack of on fedi except for a few places, the developers of most software running on it certainly do not help though.
