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.

but it’s become an unhealthy addiction. Playing on my serotonin and dopamine

The same with all those major sites: it stopped being about community at some point and became about engagement, because that drives data points which makes them money.

Reddit has been an unhealthy place for a long time with numerous incidents where the admins haven't acted out of moral choices but in the a way that is least damaging to engagement and the brand
