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.

Do like the BBC and spin up your own mastodon instance, Guardian.
And then they, too, can be defederated by salty Mastodon admins. At least I saw a lot of instances talk of defederating BBC when I still was trying to enjoy Mastodon.
Did they say why?
I forget the exact reasons but I believe it was due to a perceived bias. I don't read BBC so can't comment but they described it similarly to how a liberal would describe Fox News.

I wish more companies and government organisations did this.
Gives them full control, gives everyone ability to subscribe. Win-Win.
I really wish fire departments would do this.
I'm not giving Fascist Musk and Zuckernazi more power by creating an account to view whether my house is going to burn down from the growing wave of wildfires.
