What's Beehaw's opinion on Facebook doing NDAed meetings with fedi admins/devs? (fedipact.online)

So, recently some fediverse admins (mostly Mastodon) and the founder of Mastodon, Eugen Rochko (Gargron), where contacted by Meta/Facebook for an NDA meeting. We know nothing about it, but we're pretty sure that it was about this project92 thing that Meta/Facebook is creating to "compete" with Twitter.

So a lot of Mastodon admins already singed a pact to immediately block any Meta/Facebook activity in the fediverse as soon as it comes up. My Mastodon instance, fosstodon.org hasn't singed that pact and I'm pretty worried.

The following image is an screenshot of Gargron and dansup (creator of Pixelfed) talking about this. These posts were deleted, even from the wayback machine.

That's a good idea, but I think having a single great logo is better for our identity

Whats a game that everybody seems to love that you cant stand for one reason or another? in c/[email protected]

This will be an extremely hot take for some: Almost all recent online games are complete garbage that solely exist to make profit and create addicted user bases and they hurt what videogames truly are, a revolutionary and interactive form of art.

I love the new icons, now they fit perfectly with the instance. I think that we also need a new logo, maybe a more minimalistic one (while still having the cowboy bee).

so, which Big Tech company do you think is going to shit the bed next and popularize its Fediverse/FOSS equivalent in the process? in c/[email protected]

It's the closet thing there is to Discord while being open source. It's not federated though and it still doesn't support E2EE at the moment. If you want to give it a try, visit https://app.revolt.chat

Reddit already looks different for me in c/[email protected]

Any recommendations for low-end, Linux-friendly games to play? in c/[email protected]

Dark Souls Remastered should run just fine, one of the greatest games ever. Also make sure you play it with a controller!
