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.

Interesting to see that tumblr is adding support for ActivityPub. I wonder if any other legacy platforms will undertake to federate.
I do hope that Tumblr gets on ActivityPub soon because I do love the idea of interacting with Tumblr posts here on beehaw or on Mastodon, or whatever other thing uses the protocol.
Meta is working on an Instagram side project that will act like twitter and will use activitypub. I highly suspect though tumblr and meta taking an interest in the fediverse might ultimately add more people to interact with at the cost of being lousy neighbors
There is also Bluesky Social, an invite-only beta that uses a different protocol similar to ActivityPub (which lemmy uses). It's a project that originally merged out of Twitter but is an independent project now, with Jack Dorsey as a board member.
Bluesky itself is suppose to be a microblogging platform similar to Twitter, but the protocol it runs on (Authenticated Transfer Protocol) is meant to work the same way as ActivityPub, to generate diverse, federated social networks.
I've not used Bluesky, but I'd be interested to hear experiences from anyone who has. I'm a bit leery about Dorsey being involved simply because he's one of the Big Corpo Boys, but his running of Twitter was fairly reasonable compared to the current regime.
Knowing what a jerk Jack Dorsey is though, I'm steering clear.
Is he like another spez?
