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.

Because a lot of people just recently broke up with Reddit and the breakup was rough.
I think it is closer to an addiction for many.
Por que no los dos?
Probably because I spent 12+ years actively promoting Reddit to people, talking about various things I’ve read, interesting subreddits, drama all the way from unidan, cumbox, Boston bombing, original r/place, and so much more.
I was on Reddit starting around 2008 or so, before it was quite popular and a lot more wild. so ya know, it’s like saying goodbye to an old friend really, but all things pass eventually. Im excited to see what’s next.
I'd say majority of the people on here are going to go back to reddit and this is just virtue signaling honestly
I already see a lot of these "lemmy says fuck you" on reddit
I can see some going back; Lemmy isn't a perfect replacement for Reddit despite what some say.
I'm honestly on here more so that I have something when Baconreader dies as I'm not going to use the official app; but I'm still going to use Reddit.
I'm still going back from time to time to promote fediverse and participate in the protest posts. I'm still spending more time here though.
Why is this posted to Technology? This has nothing to do with Technology, and belongs in one of the many reddit threads or communities that already exist.
Or just start lining up work elsewhere. I'm not convinced we need sabotage at this point, but Reddit probably isn't going to get better for users or employees.
Exactly … don’t destroy your reputation… just find a new job if you hate the company you work for.
Also, you should probably avoid trash-talking Reddit when interviewing. I hear potential employers hate that.
well yea any employer really. never bring any toxic energy... they'll see it as a red flag.

I keep saying I think it's going to go the facebook route. I don't think we're going to see them change on this, I think we're going to see a slow gradual death of a social media space. No one can pinpoint when Facebook became less cool, but everyone agrees it's not cool like it was in the early 2010s/late 2000s. People will follow the content, when content stops being as good on Reddit people will go elsewhere.
All we need to do is keep the communities going and have fun content.

I'd add "Update your resume" and start looking because if Reddit holds to the pattern of enschittification, then layoffs are coming. Pointless, stupid layoffs that don't care how important your job is.
They've had one layoff, but have they had second layoff? -- Merry (or Pipin? Idk the difference)
It was Pippen.
Anyone working on reddit might benefit from contacting some of the people that used to work on twitter, just so that they are prepared for what's to come y´know.
I mean spez already said he admires Elon Musk's directive of twitter, it doesn't take much to know that its going to turn into a very shitty place to work for if it hasn't reached that point yet.
If you're browsing this and work for reddit, I'm sorry you're caught up in all this bullshit. I love you guys and the work you've done but hate what's coming from the ceo amd other executives through inaction.
