Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.

Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.

Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

I can't even begin to explain this without getting into what fediverse politics has been but i thought this would be of interest to you guys regardless. The TLDR is that Meta's been developing their own ActivityPub project (and with it instances) under P92. And apparently they had a meeting with key figures especially on the microblogging side (so that includes Eugen the Masto guy) - no details provided because got NDA.

If you've been on fediverse to avoid corporate socmed and/or object against surveillance capitalism, naturally this wasn't treated as good news.

(I thought this is the best channel for this but lemme know if i got it wrong)

Ugh. Just untangling myself from FB because it's useless these days. I shouldn't be surprised they are trying to creep over to stay relevant.

@Tarlia I'm just sideeyeing the fedi mods inc the masto guy for even giving face to fb, as though past performance won't tell you what to expect!
