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
From his responses you can see reddit will continue their path. and if you think about it, everything is going well for them.
the probability that a critical mass of users will leave is still quite low. they will get rid of a lot of moderators that don't fall in line. what is left will be a community that won't mind the direction reddit is going.
reddit will turn boring, but the shareholders won't care. as long as they manage to keep enough users after the api change the site will recover.
the only positive thing here is that a lot of dedicated people may join other platforms and start building new communities.
That's what I expected as well. My guess is that it's mostly somewhat tech savvy people that care about the changes. The more casual users will probably keep using reddit. Basically the lifecycle of most social media tbh
Yeah. I doubt there will be any mass migration. Instead, we'll have a few high quality users, which in my opinion is the best case.
Yeah, I actually don't mind the smaller user base. Although it looks like I'll have to miss out on a few things (r/HistoricalCostuming and r/FashionHistory users don't seem to be here yet in substantial numbers, for example). So long as we're all excellent to each other it's all good though (:
Party on dudes
@annenas Really hoping that the userbase may spread out a bit, too. It's awesome that we've had v. techy early adopters but I'm really looking forward to other folks maybe coming on board
agree. I am hoping the federated instances wont be overwhelming for folks.
