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.

Will you close your accounts?

I'm quite torn. The various gaming subs I mod have great teams, and are generally great communities. I legit feel like I am doing them a disservice by stepping down and closing accounts at the end of the month.

But doing the work for a company who has no regard for the reason it is a success stings more than the feeling I'll be abandoning some teams of passionate individuals.

I love the 'old' feeling of the internet on here. What I miss from forums in the '90's. I feel like this is the best decision.

But actions speak louder than words. They don't deserve users who they abuse.

I'm waiting to see what the response is from spez about the API changes tomorrow. I expect a shit show that will piss me off enough to begin deleting content from the site, yes.

I’m from the future and I’d like to congratulate you on your prediction! It wasn’t exactly a long shot, but… yeah. You got it exactly right.

I've deleted all of my alts. Main account goes June 29. You guys have made a house a home here at Beehaw.

Hahahahahhahahah, wouldn't miss it for the world. But being admins, I imagine it won't be fairly represented.

I'll see you there, though!
