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.

Why would devs remove something like this, at this time? Is it causing huge problems larger than the problems removing it would cause?
Makes me wonder if the devs are being paid to cripple Lemmy. This is where open source shines, we don't have to be held hostage to one product/service.
It looks like they decided to bring it back in time for the next release! - https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3200#issuecomment-1600505757
They specifically mentioned the feedback in the ticket and it goes to show how collective action can work.
Despite how others felt that I was trying to start a "brigade" - I was only trying to raise awareness by being collectively vocal. I never asked folks to abuse devs or "force" them to do something. I asked them to make their concerns known and let the devs choose. It's just that when I posted there were far less comments, and if I were the developer I wouldn't know that this issue is important to a lot of people - at least just looking at the github issues anyways.
