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.

This stuff is funny, but that's the problem, Redditors love funny events like The Snap, and they love drama and controversy

You can see it's not hurting Reddit at all maybe even helping them

https://blackout.photon-reddit.com/

The real solution is to share links to Lemmy communities as replacements and just leave Reddit, turn off whatever auto moderation tools they have and just let the place burn, or maybe even worse be overly strict on moderation lol

They permanently blocked me for sharing lemmy links before blackout. One more reason to do it, link aggregator not allowing links!
