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 want the API changes reverted as much as any other Reddit refugees here, but I can't stand behind this kind of malfeasant extortion.
Not only is it blatantly obvious they're using the API change rhetoric as a means of irritating Reddit into giving them their hush money, it also avts towards delegitimising all protest efforts made by the Subreddits thus far
While I agree with you, it's also hard for me to feel bad for Reddit in this scenario.
I think it's not relevant to our cause either way and it's something that will be forgotten about eventually even if whatever data gets leaked publicly.
We just gotta focus on making Lemmy better and more desirable.
