Reddit mods are organizing blackouts to protest against API changes
(www.reddit.com)
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:

If what they're saying is true, that might happen anyway. A lot of moderation is done using third party bots that use the API. Without those, it all has to be done manually and no one has time for that. Even then a lot of the manual moderation is done using third party tools (again, impacted by the API change).
Reddit's about to pull an implosion that'll make Twitter and Digg look like blips. I got the heck out of there and now I'm just sitting back with my popcorn and tea watching it all burn down.
Interesting. This video is broken when I'm on lemmy.ml but works fine from beehaw.org
downloading it through wget using the link that my browser is trying to play also works. beehaw.org is also taking forever to load
Can comfirm broken on Jerboa, but fine on beehaw from the browser.
Broken in Jerboa as well.
Does mentioning users to notify them work? Let's try:
@dessalines@lemmy.ml FYI
@dessalines
Edit: doesn't look like it. Hmm.
Edit 2: full URL? https://lemmy.ml/u/dessalines
I got mentioned, but jerboa doesn't have an autofiller for
@
users or!
communities like lemmy-ui does.. yet.
