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.

Our API allows free access to moderators and developers creating these tools for non-commercial use cases.

They had already committed to avoiding disruptions to bots, they aren't backing off on the apps.

Yeah the non-commercial part just destroys the entire announcement. Mods could just use a community made bot that they bought for like $5 and be done with it.

Since this will be now against the ToS, no one will be bothered to develop these tools for free, to move around.

This is a worthless post.
