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.

Chatted with the moderator teams for the subs I am a part of. Two of them agreed we'll go dark indefinitely, and we have joined in on that via ModCoord's post.
The largest with just under 1m users is still thinking about it, but I'm fighting for it.
We need to push them where it hurts: active users for their ads to be used on.
If you really want to hit Reddit where it hurts: Shut down the subs forever, delete all posts and comments in said subs, put up a sticky post redirecting to Lemmy.
I'm absolutley with you. Deleting everything is the only thing Reddit could hurt on the long term. All other protests is just cosmetic.
Deleting everything without archiving is a pretty destructive thing tho, atleast archiving the comments in some other website would be better
Hopefully you don't have any rogue mods. Apprently r/adviceanimals got the head mod replced by someone that seems to be more inline with the admins-reddit. (u/legweed -> u/CedarWolf)
