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’ve heard about some subs being forced back open, but I wasn’t entirely sure if that’s what’s really happening.
This is truly sad. No matter how you protest, the house always wins in this game. Even though this blackout was doomed from the start, at least now Reddit has shown their hand. Now it’s clear that I want absolutely nothing to do wit that corporation ever again.
Federation isn't like email at all. I don't know why people keep saying that. You'll never get a message saying "we're not receiving email from this server today" unless something has gone horribly wrong.
Email also doesn't hang with a green loading circle for hours when you try to log in.
Yeah that’s how spam filtering now works on email. It’s just in the background and isn’t talked much about because it’s been automated quite a lot. But at the end of the day it’s still writing domain names into blacklist, essentially defederating from those domains.
There are blacklisted email servers. And when email started you had loading circle for the whole internet.
I think others are noting how it can be like this. In my experience:
Another weird choice for a sub to force open. Are we sure this is legit?
