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 think this post is the most important thing that all these "Why would you block Meta?! They're a huge source of potential growth!!" people don't understand -- who cares about growth? This "growth and user counts are the only metric that matter" mindset is exactly why we all fucking loathe Facebook/Meta/etc. That exact attitude is what makes them so despicable.
Yeah, to Meta growth=money. Fediverse (generally speaking) isn't after money.. we want community. Healthy growth is fine - meta's mutant hormone growth isn't what we want.
