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.

The API issue was a huge nail into the coffin of the user experience at reddit. For sure, mobile site will disappear and then old.reddit.
Everything about this is utterly tone deaf, you can see it in u/spez answer in his AMA about how the company will continue to be profit driven until it’s profitable. Bro, this is not how you talk to your user base. Your actions, policies, and strategic outlook should be toward driving the user experience and your service so that it is profitable. Not degrading all things for grinding down every extra cent at the expense of your entire companies differentiators.
Fuck spez, fuck reddit.
At some point they are going to remove NSFW content to appease advertisers.
That will be a big loss. I don't doubt it will happen, but it's like Tumblr or OF removing NSFW content. Judging by this shitstorm, they cannot learn from others' mistakes.
That's the one thing I'll miss completely. I'm really into consent, and girls posting just to show off does something that porn alone doesn't
Maybe Lemmy will get there, but I've seen nothing like that so far
