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.

I honestly did not realize this was not already the case but it is a good move to make right now. Hopefully folks will start to recognize the Fediverse for what it is and can be and explore coming to the Activity Pub side over using Bluesky.

In a reality where the tech press had any sense of vision or independence the headline would simply read "Ok Now Your Turn Oligarchs",

Could you edit the link so it doesn't have the tracking information on it?

Not because of the tracking itself...it's vague enough in this case not to be an issue. Just because keeping the canonical URL allows Lemmy to automatically detect when the post has been cross-posted to multiple instances, so we can see if/where it's also being discussed.

No I get that, but for the software to pick it up properly you would need to use the "edit" button to amend the url in the post itself.

Yes, I'm not the creator of the post. I just thought I'd make it easy for them.

Oh right, mb.

I can't wait to tell my fellow radical leftist friends about this amazing move that aligns with socialist and anarchist principles! Really looking forward to them coming up with excuses to keep using X and not even create an account on the mastodon instance I host for us! /s

About time. Hope this leads to actually good things for mastodon rather than a series of increasingly worse decisions by the current supreme leader who doesn't seem to care about safety, moderation or creating and keeping a unique identity for it and other things besides.

Unfortunately the news says he's stepping down as CEO so he can focus more on product. Which means he's going to continue to block the user's feature requests, it seems.
