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.

Sadly, most of my subs don't really care about the Reddit drama, and I can't find anything replacing them here. But at the same time… I kinda realized I don't really miss them, and overall getting away from Reddit feels like a good thing for my mental health. For now, I think my lights stay out at Reddit, and it will be replaced by a mix and match of lemmy stuff and old school forums. And maybe discord for some special live events.
So while the blackout and all that happened leading up to it didn't really change my Reddit experience, it changed my overall feeling about Reddit as a platform. Let's see how this will hold up.
That's my situation as well. Out of curiosity I went into reddit today to see how different it would look. It's close to the same. A lot of the subs I go to are in the "Yeah it sucks but we're small so we won't make a dent so fuck it.." other subs like /r/games with their BS excuse of "we support it but don't want to do anything about it". Overall, kind of the same. Kind of makes me sad
There is only one sub I use that has not attempted to do anything about the API issue. They stickied a post forwarded to an explanation of what is happening in support of the blackout, but it is an important time period for us so no one was going to allow a full shut down. It's one of the few non-toxic places to discuss our fandom. Beyond that sub, the others don't matter much to me.
