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.

Holding verifiable public figures accountable for their bad takes is sweet. I'd deal with it if I'd get less of an obscure stranger. Now my and other instances cache my comments and posts, I believe, but it's hard to link to my real persona and I can actually control what to share (more, than I could imagine on facebook or twitter).
WaybackMachine would have less on me than my instance's admin, my ISP and VPN providers. Just the text I choose to write in public. And that's only if someone would care to save it.
Not 100%, but I'd trade it for getting the record of (other :) hypocrites straight.
