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.

MODERATORS
Makes sense, posts can be (and are) automated via repost bots. Commente and genuine interaction is impossible to fake.
Genuine interaction is hard to fake but there is definitely no shortage of bot comments or astroturfing in the comments
But if the only thing left in the comments section are obvious bots, even real users not planning to join in the Reddit blackout will start fleeing.
