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.
Subcommunities on Beehaw:
This community's icon was made by Aaron Schneider, under the CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.
Was rather foreseeable but seals the deal for me. I will will waste my time here.
If you put people in charge who don't know / care about particular communities in charge, there could be huge trouble.
You know.... like the legal advice subr×ddit being moderated by cops. Which it is.
the idea that a cabal of mods were going to take things in a good direction was always unsound
I feel like normie fed-based socials need to start going live like bluesky so people can finally get off these shitty platforms. We need a leader in the federation space.
Stop giving thus self righteous, money hungry dickwad a voice, The Verge. Jesus christ. The more he talks, the dumber and more like Elon Musk he looks.
/r/ModCoord is polling subs, a lot of support still for indefinite blackout
Reddit has informed the moderators of those subreddits that it has plans to replace resistant moderation teams to keep spaces "open and accessible to users."
Honestly entirely predictable. Should really be a wake up call to moderators and communities that haven't gone dark that Reddit, Inc is not trustworthy (just like how spez has been willing to edit posts).
Good luck to Reddit trying to moderate 5000 new communities and not devolve into Twitter 2.
Spez “this isn’t impacting our bottom line” surely is acting like it is. Let the fire begin. Turn off all mod tools, all spam filters. Let the website turn into a shithole.
I read an article yesterday that had a brief mention of an advertising manager advising his clients to hold their campaigns, etc and see how this develops. The hold seemed to be less permanent than with Twitter. But seeing how it's not resolving totally on its own with some communities even permanently abandoning the platform (/r/StarTrek and associated subs), it might start having a bigger impact.
Union busting 101 - claiming the organizers are lazy and trying to skirt work and fire them asap
I know I'm just nitpicking the headline but leave it to the apple community publication to make this about their app.
Reddit is already dead. Old.reddit will be removed soon.
Reddit is deaddit. Long live the glorious Lemmy-Kbin Continuum.
They already removed some mods, it's not a threat it's Spaz being a jerk and awful person.
Well, you could stay private and continue to moderate as if it would always be a private sub, just have a few authorized users and a few posts a day to moderate...
I knew this is what they would do. :) OpenAI hired Kenyans at 2$/hr to train their AI chatbot. This is what Reddit will do. Hire Africans at 2$/hr to moderate the most popular sub and generate traffic, than try and recruit new volunteer mods, all the while going for the IPO.
