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 think it's a bit silly to have megathreads just because some users can't scroll past posts that doesnt interest them.
I agree its not great with multiple threads but it's also not the end of the world imo. Users want to talk about these things. Let them.
It's not fun to post on megathreads because your comments get buried. At least it was like that on reddit.
My guess is some of them simply don’t like people saying bad things about musk and just want to stifle discussion.
No, people are annoyed by the constant articles he generates.
There is already a system for users to provide feedback on what articles they do or don't want to see.
I'm not here to weigh in on the megathread debate as a whole, but assuming you're referring to upvotes and downvotes, Beehaw disables the latter.
I agree, and think megathreads should only be used when the scope is limited to prevent the same story from being posted multiple times
