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.

Sure, for people who pay attention and / or care. But sadly I think the real comparison with be:
Ease to get started:
Mastodon - Learn what a server is, find a server, create an account.
Threads - Just download it. You probably already have an account without realising.
It's going to do well.
Sure, it's mostly going to be celebs, brands and 'content creators' but that'll still mean a lot of people. And folks will go where the people are.
Personally, I'm hoping BlueSky just dish out 10 invites per user and bring in people to that infrastructure. It looks like a good middle ground between fediverse and simple Twitter experience.
Anything owned by a corporation im not touching. It's pretty simple... Fediverse is dope as fuck why I need anything else?
