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 stopped moderating all of the niche subs (that I created) except for two and have, basically, let the mod team run things. I only dip in to check modmail in case a mod needs me. Otherwise, I don't use Reddit at all. Beehaw!
The niche subs are the ones I’ve missed the most, honestly. There were some really great little communities on there!
Yeah, niche ones provide the most value since the popular ones are the easiest to replace with the larger user base that seeks them out. Too many niche subs sold themselves short on their importance when it being niche was what kept people coming back over leaving due to lack of alternatives for that interest.
Oh absolutely! I'll remain the 'head mod' of /r/AskBibleScholars but the mod team there can handle the day-to-day. I'm still considering (and working on) the Q&A section of askbiblescholars.com and hope to provide the same service to the wider Internet.
