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.

MODERATORS
All the worthwhile content creators will (or already have) move on and it'll be even more of AI generated content circlejerk than it already is. No one should feel sorry for lurkers being lazy.
I wonder what would happen if redditors just start ignoring rules... 🤔
They'd get banned
The power lies in leaving Reddit behind.
they aren't powerless, they just leave.
The ones who stay probably do see themselves as powerless, which is a pretty self-fulfilling prophecy.
The only issue with the dynamic is that Redditors were too fixated with their position as “moderator” and were willing to acquiesce just to keep it. If they simply refused the free labor they’re giving a corporation who’s seeking profit by near any cost, they’d have had impact.
Oh. Cool. Yet another reddit drama thread in /c/technology
When do we change the name of this community to /c/YetAnotherRedditDramaCommunity instead of /c/technology ?
I suspect there are a lot of people here who are interested in Reddit, and also there might be something going on over on Reddit that's resulting in a lot of news being generated about it.
Just a guess.
Of course, that's understandable. But there's too many people here that are interested in the reddit drama such that it ends up taking over many subs, drowning out other content.
It's like how r/worldnews was created, because despite r/news being general, there was so many Americans that US news dominated the sub. We need to do the same with reddit drama IMO.
That's great, there are many places dedicated to just that topic! It doesn't need to keep being posted here cluttering up actual news about actual tech items.
I don't go to /c/cats and post about dogs. Or to /c/America and post about Europe. There is a place for everything. This community has been constantly clogged up with crap about reddit.
