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 everything has an answer yet, for example Discord, there's alternatives but none on Fedi. Also somebody earlier was mentioning fanfiction sites, there's problems with all the existing ones and again, no Fedi alternative. However, not everything needs to be federated, look at Wikipedia for example.
Honestly, AO3 is pretty based for what it is, especially when you consider how the two main competitors (FFN and Wattpad) are ad driven with all the problems that entails. Tho come to think of it, now I’m getting worried about FFN getting enshittified…
The Discord alternative probably should be end-to-end encrypted, so I guess Matrix or something would be a better alternative than the Fediverse. Or just IRC if it's public ;) In either case it's probably a good example of where the Fediverse is not the solution (but decentralizzato might still be).
Fanfiction I guess could be federated - I don't know how these services work. Personally I'm waiting for a good federated TripAdvisor/Yelp alternative that can be integrated with OpemStreetMaps.
Wikipedia is wonderful, and probably shouldn't be decentralized. Then again, it's one of the few good things about the contemporary internet (along with archive.org).
