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.

"put in their place"?
To me that has always seemed to talk from people that felt the need to punish people for not pandering to their ego.

As did my great uncle pass down his wisdom from the early nineties IRC flame wars, "~~ASL~~ " don't feed the trolls".

This is why the correct response is, "maybe somebody needs to put you in your place, whuddaya think about that, wiseguy?"

If the adult is the wife beater, sure..

There is nothing adult about how reddit is behaving. It's actually very childish and immature.

Mods are not valued or respected by reddit whatsoever, despite working for free and caring about the quality of the community.

But I'm glad it's playing out in the open. Reddit will be an even bigger shit platform from now on.

To me it's fine. I don't have to use reddit. :)
