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.

I see this as a positive aspect of the protest.

I am also amused that random people are pounding on the door for access, as if they think approved submitters are having a private tea party inside.

Clearly you're not someone who would have to go back and clear out 259238 modmail messages and make sure that none of them are legit "I have a problem" notes.

None of the subreddits I mod are that huge but just the thought of more than 100 at once makes me wanna cry.

Oh clearly I’m not. I just don’t understand the thinking of people demanding access. It’s like the kind of person who pounds on the door of a closed restaurant because they can see the employees inside.

Oh man, my partner made a somewhat popular weapon calculator spreadsheet for Elden Ring, and the number of random Google Sheets edit requests they received was.... quite a lot. (the instructions were right there for people to make a copy of the sheet to edit themselves! that's how all of these sheets calculators work!) 🤦
