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.

"Do you think Reddit cares? Honestly."
My post says what I think. Of course they don't they haven't cared for the better part of 8 years. It's why I ran PDS and stopped with using Reddit as of this week.
"But there are people who need these little rest stops. They need a place to post a picture of their Mickey Mouse balloon, or their engagement photo in front of the castle, or their debate about what on earth the writing on some poster says. It makes them happy and there's a whole blossoming community there, of happy people in a safe space."
You know that Reddit will use this as leverage whenever they can right?
"We're just some stupid, terminally-online folks who need to touch grass. Doing unpaid labor for an abusive place that doesn't care. All to make some little virtual people on the other side of a box (who also hate us) happy."
Why would you even talk about yourself like that?
If it wasn't clear I am hardcore in the moderator camp.
I would not be a moderator even if you would glue me to a chair and threaten me to mod or I would be forced to watch every season of seinfeld in that same chair. I absolutely despise seinfeld.
You are literally the gateway between the community and Reddits pockets. Why do you think that Facebook pays a buttload of cash for their moderators.
I come of as harsh maybe, but for some reason I feel like I care more for the moderators then the moderators do for themselves.
You should be proud of the work you do and the shit you take on the daily.
Sorry if I come on strong, but believe me it isn't to dunk on you or the moderators in any way, shape or form.
I am probably way to invested in this part of the saga so I will stop posting about this part at all.
