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.

good 💙
The community literally has reddit by the balls, and are just gonna let go by ending to so early. Good thing at least some are permanently shutting down
I'm happy to find a place like Lemmy. It's good to have federated services that don't have to be at the beck and call of a group of heartless investors with the face of a petulant manchild like Spez.
I guess Reddit has introduced free API calls for moderator apps. They're trying to placate the mods, but screw the users. Good luck with that.
It's almost like they never considered that moderators use the same third party apps as the rest of their users, either.
Though based on the leaked internal memo, it looks like Reddit doesn't think very much of their users at all.
It turns out though, the mods are also users. That's the whole free labor market Reddit has tapped into. They don't have to pay mods and so users are mods. Yet now they are trying to monetize just half and completely failing to understand what their user base even looks like. I don't know many mods but the ones I do know are users first and moderators because they want the community to be decent.
