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.

When Reddit forcibly opens everything back up:
“Who’s there?”
“Hired mods?”
"Wait, you all are getting paid?"
Reddit has an annual "moderator summit", a rah! rah! yay for moderators! event for moderators, mostly of large or super large subreddits.
At last year's summit, Spez gave his 'keynote' talk where among other things he claimed that they were researching ways to pay moderators for their work, by giving them a cut of ... something. It was all sort of wonky and nebulous and likely just something he thought of that morning in the shower.
