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.

Lol- i don't need a video to know blocking porn was the downfall of tumblr.
Used to be kinda nice. They had... very specialized communities for certain things.
So you're saying you watched a 40 minute video in one minute and I shouldn't have posted it because it's the only valid point the video makes?
Or did you rather just read the title of the video and assumed that its content was 40 minutes of repeating what was said in the title in long form?
No matter what platform we move to, many people will still stop paying attention at the headline.
Good point. It's OK if they do that, but writing comments if you didn't engage at all with the content apart from the title is useless to everyone involved. I wish people started to understand this.
I am saying- I never clicked on the video.
I just remember how tumblr basically died out overnight after blocking/banner/restricting its vibrant porn community....
it's not about porn, though, as you can't simply replace the adult content on Tumblr with porn on Twitter, Pornhub etc. – it's about exploring your sexual identity in a very unique way. I recommend you watch the video.
