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.

They could easily do that by:

  1. Threatening to site-wide ban moderators who keep their subreddits dark (on the basis that they're disrupting the regular function of the website.)
  2. Actually banning them if they follow through on another blackout.
  3. Doing a bit of overtime to moderate /r/redditrequest, on the condition that people don't request subs that already have more than two million subscribers.
