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 really like this community, and thank everyone for posting always interesting pieces and news. I have a "meta-question".

The community description says "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.". What about technology satire, or funny pieces about technology? Does the description above implicitly disallow them?

Cheers!

I'm not speaking for the whole Technology mod team here, just off the cuff. I think a satire piece (if clearly labeled preferably) would be completely fine. Personally I'd also be good with funny articles or other types of writing about tech, god knows this sub could use some levity. I don't think we would probably be okay with posting tech related memes, though. It's possible that if the community was really interested we could do a weekly sticky for memes or other lower-effort content, though.

Again, I'm just spitballing here, I haven't checked it with any of the other mods.

Thank you for the feedback! I've asked because at first I thought of sharing this satire piece which I found very funny. But suddenly wondered if that would have been OK or not – don't want to ruin what the users expect by subscribing to this community.

If not here, I don't know where. If you don't understand the technology is being overhyped, it's just a silly joke that doesn't reflect reality.
