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 saw a lot of people saying they used bots to rewrite their entire post history to things like "fuck /u/spez"
I'm thinking that amount of comment editing might be quite the spike on the servers.
I did that, but not "fuck u/spez" because that might get the comment deleted altogether making the edit meaningless. Instead I edited to say the comments been deleted in protest against the API changes.
If enough of us do it, entire comment chains will be illegible lol
