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.

Even if Reddit fires Steve, goes nonprofit, brings back the old algorithm, open-sources everything, unconditionally repudiates everything that led to the Aimee Challenor fiasco, rolls back every single change they scapegoated Ellen Pao for, yanks the choke chain on the powermod cabal, gets rid of New Reddit, allows apps to access their API for free forever, and permanently removes the ability to shadowban users...
...it'll still be full of arrogant, elitist pricks that intentionally misinterpret everything you say to try and get a le epic mic drop wholesome keanu chungus moment. I don't want to go back to that.
I agree with everything you said, but I'd like to add that for me personally -- I saw myself become one of those people on reddit, and I hated it. There is something about reddit that makes everything feel extremely toxic. I can't quite put my finger on it. I don't feel that way here, or on discord, or even on tumblr.
I hope I never go back to reddit.
