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.

They can’t keep their story straight. First the protest is “noise” that will “blow over”. Now they’re forcing subs to re-open.
Look, even if the protest “fails”, they stick to the API pricing, and forcefully re-open subs, some things will be obvious and for everyone to see that weren’t before:
Also "97% of users doesn't use a 3rd party app" but also "the opportunity cost" is very high. Which one is it?
They're probably just upset that /all is a graveyard of "Reddit is killing third party apps". That's gotta look embarrassing for them
I'm pretty happy with how many subreddits are continuing to go dark, or the ones who are actively helping their users transition to other platforms.
It reminds me of the scene in "The Quiet Place" where the surrounding farms go dark one by one…
