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.

If only people were to just LEAVE the site, even just temporarily until changes were made in their favor. A massive drop in user activity would be a huge hit to u/spez and at that point it wouldn't matter if his cronies took over the mods because no one would be on.
I find it funny that a lot of the people who were yelling for a blackout were still active during the 12th and 13th. This blackout was the wrong move man. Wrong move.
There never were that many people yelling for a blackout or complaining in general. Fact simply is, that the average Reddit User doesn't care about it, since it doesn't affect them directly. If we throw in all mods, the 3rd party app users and all the people that care, we don't even reach 10% of Reddits userbase.
They had a drop of about 30% during the blackout which is already a lot more than expected, but that's mainly because subs are closed and people can't post.
Anecdotally, everyone I personally know who uses reddit has dropped it.
I'm on it less and less. And as soon as I find where I want to settle, I'll be off it for good.
