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.

As far as I know you still don't actually need an email address to create a reddit account. They try to make users think it's compulsory but there are workarounds during sign up.

Last time I signed up (a few years ago) you could just enter whatever email you wanted and never bother to verify it. It's only a problem if you forget your password

You don't even have to enter an email address. Just click next and you skip straight to username/password confirmation.
