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've had a different experience. On 4chan there is a high degree of deliberate malice. On Youtube there is a lot of ignorance, but because of the extremely general audience of the platform it seems to me that it's more average people expressing their honest beliefs rather than trying to make your life worse because you entered their line of sight. I have learned through comments under my video essays and politic channels that many are willing to engage in conversation, even if it isn't always in good faith. I've had some interesting discourse over paragraphs at a time in a few cases.
