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.

@alyaza Freaking hell, is there any more mainstream social media platform left that does not and does not plan to sell your data to an AI already?!? *sigh*
@helenslunch Heh, I beg to differ about removing, I'd sure want it removed from time to time, don't know what they're thinking.
Just that when I originally signed up for these services, I did it not with the intent of feeding data to a piece of software that would fundamentally influence our decisions.
But hey, tech companies gotta tech company...
A lot of ActivityPub software that federates with Lemmy does that tag thing automatically; like Mastodon, for example.
so take it up with gargron, why complain to individual users..
Thanks for the feedback. On the other hand it is a hassle for me to manually remove the tags as well on every comment. Especially on mobile where you cannot
Ctrl+AthenBackspaceorDelI initially thought I found a setting on Friendica that would disable this, but instead it hid these from my own view. I thought this was the case only on Mastodon to ensure compatibility. Sadly, it was not, as we saw, so I toggled that setting back.
Yes, it really sucks that Gargron's decisions weigh so much on the Fediverse atm, as the most people are on Mastodon, and all software needs to ensure compatibility with it first.
Hope this reply gets to you without the tags now as well. 🙂
@helenslunch I am not tagging you, it is automatically tagging you, sorry.
Wish they were...
In the EU, we have the right to request removal.
The fines written in the laws are pretty huge, enough to destroy a small business, and to make large corporations invest into following them. Seems to work, with some historically large fines already applied.
