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.

I'm curious why this is classified as "losing battle"... seems pretty successful so far to me.
Battle's not over until the third party apps go offline. That's when the real damage is bound to start.
In what way? Reddit's outlook was a lot brighter before this thing started. Maybe they're not losing as fast as one would like but they are losing.
Reddit still has hundreds of millions of active users per month. They may have lost some people, but this many eyeballs has a huge potential for profit.
No longer being viable as a business would be "lost", not "losing", if you ask me. In the long term we'll see how many volunteer mods they can shed without the platform becoming shit.

Those are just users numbers, which didn't dip all that much even during the blackout. The doomscrollers will keep coming until it sucks.

reminding me I need to manage to archive my data off reddit. XD And ready the kill script on June 30ths to delete my posts.
It's his site. He will always win. Fuck him and greedy capitalists fucks like him.
PS: Enjoy Lemmy
Wasn't lemmy created by tankies? Avoided it for kbin (I'm aware of the federation) due to this.
Doesn't matter since they don't and also can't retain control over the network, and the network by and large all defederated lemmygrad.
Lemmy kinda belongs to its users now.

Not until its users actually start developing Lemmy the software.
I mean they are?
You can host an instance, and if the instance is doing something you don't like, you can certainly change it and prevent it from doing it. If the main Lemmy devs put stuff in most people don't like, the software will just get forked, and most instances will use the non-shitty version.
Lemmy is what the majority of users want it to be, since everyone can just start a competing site that's not suffering from the "outside-the-walled-garden" effect, with a different featureset. Users will move to the instance with the best featureset for themselves.
