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
Nice to see the subreddits listed by subs. Reddit can't ignore this... interested to see how they respond. I'm sure it will be some half baked knee jerk reaction that will get the community even more against them.
I'm not entirely sure. Seems like there will be plenty of inertia from the subreddits remaining open. I'd imagine that eventually Reddit will force them open again.
But they aren't going to be getting those moderators back on the site without some sort of change. It'll be really interesting to see how much of an impact that has.
Reddit will replace the mod teams of the core subs with some of the many power hungry citizens of the web.
If they need to I expect they will pay contracts for them.
I'm not optimistic that it will affect Reddit.
Reddit paying moderators means they have editorial control, which means they lose safe harbor protections and are liable for all content on their site.
Arguably, Reddit picking moderators may have the same effect. See https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/us-9th-circuit/1856011.html.
I fell like throwing out the mods might just be that reaction. Anyway if anything, I might only share Lemmy content on Reddit in the future.
this is what we are doing, moving everything here then will be resharing links to lemmy posts on reddit. going to do the same thing on all the centralized networks.
