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 haven’t. But now I’ve seen a couple. I believe they did /r/tumbler or something dirty too.
It’s a shame. Totally antithetical to their culture they (Reddit) started and grew with as a freedom of speech platform.
They've been running away from their culture of free speech since 2008. The only direction they have ever moved has been in the opposite direction.
I'm skeptical about these claims. If they wanted to do that, why start with AdviceAnimals? Why not funny or pics?
I expect most of the "popular" subs (like the one you mentioned) aren't ones I have ever been aware of or cared to be aware of.
