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.

Although there's a lot of protesting going on over at Reddit right now, I really don't think it can be compared to twitter. 6 months from now, I doubt things will be all that different at Reddit. A small number of users (relatively speaking when compared to their total number of users) will leave, and that's probably it.
idk, if all the 3rd party apps can no longer afford to keep running, they'll either need to shut down or switch to Lemmy, and those apps have many many users
honestly would be pretty insane to open up RIF (or whatever 3rd party reddit app you use) and there's an announcement saying this is a Lemmy app now lol, I wonder how many users that could pull
I'm fairly sure that much traffic would smother Lemmy
They could make their own instances, but idk how much money those apps pull in
