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.

From his responses you can see reddit will continue their path. and if you think about it, everything is going well for them.
the probability that a critical mass of users will leave is still quite low. they will get rid of a lot of moderators that don't fall in line. what is left will be a community that won't mind the direction reddit is going.
reddit will turn boring, but the shareholders won't care. as long as they manage to keep enough users after the api change the site will recover.
the only positive thing here is that a lot of dedicated people may join other platforms and start building new communities.
I just find the whole thing really false and shut off.
The answers provided by spez are completely useless and don't really further any discussion. This is all about damage control for the upcoming IPO in my opinion. Without users, active moderators and people willing to engage and discuss... the product is going to burn at IPO.
Here's hoping enough people can get into some simple Lemmy instances and help the 'verse grow. Time for me to find communities for LEGO and watches!
He was initially let off his leash and posted this. I’m sure his legal and PR teams then reigned him in.
Oh there’s a Lego community right now!
What's the Lego community called? I haven't been able to find one searching.
I found one at !lego@lemmy.ml
It showed up in community search for me.
