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 you're like me, you want to see how Reddit looks mid-protest but don't want to give Reddit any web traffic. That's where Libreddit comes in, see github.

Libreddit is a privacy-respecting frontend for Reddit, so you don't need to worry about contributing to their traffic.

A list of instances can be found here. If you don't care about instances, just click here.

Happy protesting.

Traffic is not useful for them by itself, user metadata is, and this keeps at least some of it away from them.

Usually, yes, but I'm sure they'll be tracking traffic more than usual during the protest to see actual impact, so any traffic is counterproductive to the protest.
