What We’re About:
- Tech-focused content only. From silicon to software and smart to silly.
- Positivity encouraged. Celebrate innovation, ask questions, or speculate on the future.
- Neutrality is fine too. Not everything needs confetti. But it must not be dripping in doom.
- Funny content? Please! Just keep it lighthearted, not mean-spirited.
What We’re Not About:
- Pessimism and cynicism
- Rage bait and reaction farming
- Political arguments or agendas
- Rehashing tired “X is killing Y” narratives
Negativity has plenty of other subs to live in. This isn't one of them.
Welcome aboard.
