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.

blinks loudly What could go wrong? 🤣
Oh, I know this one! A bunch of Nazis are going to get together, vote out the mods of transgender/gay/Jewish subreddits, and turn them into uber-right-wing hate parades.
While I do think that probably would happen
The most likely thing i'm expecting is people will vote out the r/adviceanimals /wholesomememes mod because of how much it was advertised that he took over the subreddit from the original mods.
Then they will put him back and disable the vote feature.
Optionally it just immediately becomes found out that certain mods can't be voted out to begin with
Does he even use his own site? What a fucking disaster that will be.
I'm pretty sure spez wants the site to be a right wing hell hole, the admins actions on removing content certainly reflect that in my experience
It can backfire for spez, but I mean that's a good feature given that some mods are indeed awful.
Ooh, can we vote out admins too?
I kid, I kid. Sort of.
One of those ideas that seem good on paper, until it's actually put in practice and you see how dogshit it is.
