Despite the predictable dumpster fire of a comment section sharing this would inevitably lead too, I’m glad you shared it, it was a pleasant read.
The collapse of X should’ve been the movement to get rid of social media, not replace it with another identical platform

So tired of hearing about this platform that, afaiu, is barely even federated and not really decentralized. Why the hype when fedi exists?

I hate that social media business news qualifies as “technology” these days.
It doesn’t, but the mods (not just these ones, but of any technology community) never seem to remove posts that aren’t actually about technology.
Because the definition of what is and isn’t technology is arbitrary. Wikipedia says “Technology is the application of conceptual knowledge to achieve practical goals, especially in a reproducible way.” By that definition, social media is a technology (uses knowledge of computers and networking to enable online communication), but also so are most human creations.
By that definition the wheel is technology. Should we start posting articles about slight changes to the chemical compound used in newer snow tires?
Honestly, I’d love to hear about ALL technologies on here, not just computer based ones.
Ya why not?
Underpants are technolgy.

Oh, gee, there’s this thing called Bluesky that’s an alternative to Xitter?
