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.

We do have a very aggressive AutoMod with a lot of false positives. We're about the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, but people frequently come to ask about Tokyo Disney or Disneyland Paris or Walt Disney World.
That's the number 1 thing AutoMod catches, but then it also catches people saying something innocent ("XYZ is better at Disneyland than WDW").
If we turned off AutoMod, we'd quickly become a "generic Disney theme parks" subreddit. I brokered that idea to the mod team before we opened up, but they weren't completely onboard so we didn't go through with it.
