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.

@Whitt oh. no. oh. no. pls. no. no. stop. an adult stepped in and mods put in their place. and the sky is blue. news at 11.
"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 community wanted it, nothing wrong with the moderators capitulating to the community. Reddit gets the moderation quality they pay for, and they're paying their moderators negative money, with how things have been going. They can pony up if they want better moderation.
What are they supposed to do, run roughshod all over their users?
lmao fair point
Troll gonna troll.
I've been wondering, how do spez's boots taste?
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. :)
