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.

Not sure why anyone wanted a second twitter that’s still made by a big-tech

sdfsafI don't understand why someone would choose threads over mastadon, where they could have all the dunking with none of the enshittening.
It's still too complicated for the layperson to have to navigate. Anything beyond "I have one login at one site that everyone else has" is too much for most.
My grandma put electrical tape over the blinking 12:00 on the vcr she still uses. She's not ready for 2 factor authentication.
I mean, it is annoying to have to reset the clock every time the power fails. No clock, no problem!
Mastodon is the least like that of them though

sdfsafIt's a mix between heard mentally (well, all my friends are on it) and FOMO (what are they saying about me over there?)

asdfasdfsadfasfasdfNobody chose threads. It just got shoved down their throats.
Also, Mastadon doesn't have the same marketing these companies do.
