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.

MODERATORS
Many subs are already opening up again sadly.
The subs going dark should have only been half of the protest. Users should have also stayed away from the site but I don't think that was really coordinated.
The number of new posts didn't drop much, the comments dropped a bit more but only by like 20%, which isn't a lot given the amount of subs that went dark. Reddit doesn't care about subs, they care about users and it seems engagement was still pretty high.
The next protest should be to all users to stop using the site. Drop the users and they'll start to listen.
Before asking people to leave, subs creator should create similar communities on Lemmy
Exactly this. A long term blackout, especially a user blackout, is not feasible without a replacement place to go to.
leaving this in lieu of lemmy gold.
Create coordinated groups on lemmy and dump all comments in the sub they mod. Sure, Reddit could restore, but it would be just one more hassle for their IT staff
