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.

Large swaths of fediverse block Threads.
Its not perfect but it is a guardrail, and better than any other social networking software I know.
Least outside of Wafrn, which is also too horny, gay, and furry-coded to be commercialized.
That's a good solution as well as it turns out.
Had the same feedback about my autobiography, weirdly.
I don't understand the whole blocking Threads thing. How is forcing your own users to make a Threads account not actively helping Meta?
The guardrail is about keeping meta sludge from people who want to interact with it, not fixing the rubes that like the duping.
If you choose to directly interact with a meta product that's your own damn fault. You can't fix stupid, but you can contain it away from the people who don't want to interact with it.
Huh? Using the fediverse is indirectly interacting with Meta... Not directly.
No the opposite of interacting with meta products would be like living in the woods or some shit. I think of this place more as a methadone clinic.
