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.

My title might be a bit hyperbolic, but stuff like this worries me. I love to read and I love reading on a kindle. This has been going on for a while, but it has now reached absurd levels.

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).
