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.

I wonder how they've choose these platforms. Haiket.com doesn't even come out by lookin it up on duckduckgo.
BirdyChat is under limited access. Must wait in waitlist or have an invite from someone already in. Plus they say on their site its "access is limited to professionals".
Also, obviously, none of these are foss.
They don't choose the platform, the platforms choose them. Under EU regulation WhatsApp as a "gatekeeper" has to give access to any other platform operating in the EU if they request it. Three a, Signal and co simply aren't interested.
So anyone from Europe can ask it? And only these two showed up?
