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.

That is really cool but, man, the tooling has to catch up quickly before the fediverse graduates from just “tech people” to the general public. I think the tooling will arrive but this is all so powerful/interconnected it can look scary if not managed well.
Makes sense. The blog post does highlight the openness of Federation, which is great when it's a niche and small collection of projects. The capability is still cool and potentially useful, but as Lemmy and kbin explode with Reddit refugees, and Mastodon so large with the Twitter-nots, it's getting busy.
I've already accidentally "followed" a Lemmy community from my Mastodon account, and I guess it works well enough, but the interface doesn't quite work for the medium.
Hopefully with all the displaced app developers, the Fediverse projects will gain steam.
