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.

Frankly I'm surprised Imgur has made it this long. I suppose it's because they morphed into a community in and of itself.

I always found the Imgur community hilarious - I lovingly refer to them as sewer rats. Some of the communities I've been part of are less tech-savvy, and people accidentally enable the "post to community" feature on their images intended to be viewed solely on reddit. The Imgurians were not happy seeing designer goods in their feed.

Yeah, I remember when imgur came out when the previous image hosting companies started getting greedy.
