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.

You ppl dont remner how utterly tedious forums were. We hake karma-based systems nowadays, we cam move on
Karma is a net negative for actual community creation and meaningful discussion.
Karma+threaded is better than chronologic imo, why do you think it's bad?
I've used forums that had these things 20 years ago. This isn't new.
Idk, I wasnt around back then. But most forums I stumble upon have none of that
I should add that it wasn't the norm back then either.
What's kind of funny is that all of the debates around these systems are exactly the same today as back then, like for example that you should use the voting system to reward quality comments, not use it as an agree/disagree button.
