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 don't know if it will ever fall or fail, but I think the days of reddit being a place for the future of the internet to happen is over. People just plain don't trust the site anymore.
Like why build fun tools for it? Why help moderate a community? Why do anything on reddit if the post quality is insanely low, bots are everywhere, and trolls have taken over.
Companies do this a lot. They sacrifice good will and community for money because it can't easily be put down on a profit graph. So reddit seems fine to burn most of their genuine community to make a profit. And that's fine, they'll go elsewhere.
My hope is that somewhere like lemmy can stop the need to keep changing platforms.
