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.

There are 1,820 Subreddits gone dark and counting, as of this post. Thought others might get a kick out of this; it's kinda wild watching them go one by one. Really interested to see what this looks like tomorrow.

Super impressed with the initiative. Let’s see how spez reacts to it

My expectation is that if any of the higher traffic subs hold the line for more than a few days, the greedy little pig boy will replace the mods with loyalists and force them open.

I'm honestly grateful in a way. It's forced me to look very seriously at the fediverse apps such as Lemmy and I'm really liking the model more than putting all of our eggs in one basket.

Word man. If we can pull this off I really think it's a better future for social media in general.

Agreed. As much as I am saddened to lose out on some of the communities from reddit, I think this is the right direction. In time the communities will come back together and we will have been better off decentralizing.
