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.

It's a self fulfilling conditioning that:

you love something(or thought you love something if you read the follow points)
you dedicate time to make it better, like building your own themepark or rollercoaster tycoon
you are in the god view and have control over almost every aspect of the community
you feel the need and urge to keep those people the visit your themepark happy and engaged
the time and effort you put in(sunken cost) actually have value to the mods, but not the visitors
if something bad is threaten to happen to the thing you cared about, you have similar if not stronger emotional response when the author killed your favorite character in the show you loved a lot.

It might be mentally closer to threaten to take away your loved dog/cat cause in reality you bonded with that identity but you don't actually own the sub.
