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.

Did anyone else actually watch the video? It's inaccurate in places and is biased towards Reddit (e.g. claims that Apollo had no backend costs). Also, it misspelled the CEO's name as "Steve Hoffman."

Overall, this is the first post I've seen that makes me wish Beehaw had a downvote button.

As of this moment, the post has:

  • 87 points on beehaw.org
  • 55/38 on kbin.social
  • 61 points on midwest.social
  • 62 points on programming.dev

The real question is if downvotes on other instances federate back to Beehaw (i.e. did they only hide the button, or did they truly block them?)

As far as I am aware, downvotes do not federate to us. Don't quote me on this tho

They don't, I tried it with a beehaw user. Downvoting has no effect on you guys. :)

I gotchu fam

Its kind of a crap video.

The discussion is more interesting than the video

It is VERY biased. The protest just "died down" and reddit just "had to wait". Apparently, threatening the mods of popular subreddits, like r/pics mods, never happened. Very normal.
