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.

General Megathread for Elon Musk Nonsense and Twitter News (beehaw.org)

Hey folks -

The seemingly never-ending flood of Musk/Twitter news and commentary is getting to some of our users (and some of the mods, too), so we've decided to create a general Megathread for all things related to Elon Musk and X/Twitter.

This thread will be a general Musk catch-all, so we're including news about Musk acting the fool as related to any of his companies (SpaceX, Tesla, Boring). News about those companies that don't involve Elon can be posted outside this thread.

An alternative that may address the concerns in comments would be temporary sub communities for loud events

  1. Create community technology_elon_bs@
  2. Mods of parent community inherit sub
  3. Create a pinned post in parent community announcing.
  4. Close sub community when noise goes down.

I like this compromise solution.

Or, if one wanted a more permanent community instead, we could split a, idk, "Corporate and Billionaire Drama" or "Web Drama" community (something along those lines) off for this type of thing going forward, so "Technology" could stay more specifically about tech and not about all the crap around it. But maybe that line would be too hard to draw I guess.
