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 dunno, the way they've (board members, ceo, admins involved in trying to spin things, etc) been acting, it's pretty obvious they don't want the engaged, active users back. They want to turn it into an ad server and user tracking hub like facebook.
Maybe if they can spez, build a new board of directors, and walk back everything they've done totally, I might be willing to use it passively but directly (as in reading things there via my app of choice, but not interacting) rather than only indirectly via search results when the only hits are there.
That ain't gonna happen. If they don't do that, my last act will be to find replacement mods for the places I'm responsible for, and then I'm gone totally. I'd have done it already, but I'd have to use reddit to recruit anyone at all, and I'm not willing to do that until the protest is over.
Hell, I've thought about just doing enough mod actions that admins would have to break their own rules to oust me, and leaving them locked. But I don't like shitting on communities of people just because the site has gone to shit.
