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.

Heard. I consider the Reddit blackout a mix of labor unionism and anti-corporate overlord behavior, and I absolutely love to be a part of it! Change takes effort, time, and inconvenience. My seven year old Reddit account with 26k karma has been deleted, along with a portion of my small business income that came from posting to Reddit. There is only one right or power that is absolutely unalienable: the right to say "no" and take the consequences. Exercise it.
We are taking the memes of production for ourselves, comrade.
Hell yeah! I feel the same way! We have to be the change we want to see in the world, even when it comes to something as seemingly trivial as social media.
Hoping your business can recover that through other means, but it says a lot about your convictions to be ready and able to take that hit.
