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.

It was not difficult for me to sign up. I had to give some moments of thought to each step except the form application which I gave a couple moments of thought. I was kind of glad it wasn't instant-simple because I'd prefer thinking people be here.

That prolly sounds smackish but it's just my directness. I really didn't have any problems.

The thing with federation is, that this isn't really the result. The application for the server I got in was way easier, it was "convince me that you're not a robot".

The text field itself isn't even that big of a problem IMO, it's the delay of several days. Most people will have forgotten about it by then.
