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.

"Well, even if Threads abandoned ActivityPub down the line, where we would end up is exactly where we are now. XMPP did not exist on its own outside of nerd circles, while ActivityPub enjoys the support and brand recognition of Mastodon"
Didn't all those pundits say only tech nerds can figure Mastodon out?
Threads got 2 mil signups in 2 hours...
When I went to join mastadon, I had to type a URL to join. I had to google what URL to put in. So that tracks.
Oh yea I remember looking at some sort of spreadsheet of instances that had stats like users and uptime and stuff to pick one.
