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.

The Obama AMA was in 2012, That to me is the turning point for reddit, it's when it's population exploded overnight (which meant old users could no longer enforce cultural norms for the platform), it's when news media really started taking the platform seriously and I think when a lot of the political influence of reddit was realized.
