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.

A word on reddit, blackouts, & effective protesting: https://piped.video/watch?v=U06rCBIKM5M
wish some reddit mods participating in the blackout watched it.
Mod of small (~26,000 users) sub. We'll be staying dark indefinitely. Talking to my other mods for other subs and recommending they do the same. We're tiny but hopefully it sends a message to our users.
As a user of a shut-down (maybe temporarily) community in Reddit, the fact that it was shut down and has a decently active (migrating) community here is the very reason i have a Lemmy account.
Shutting down on Reddit is a valid working strategy to send a message, so you made the right choice

He makes some really good points. Why should reddit corporate give a shit about a timeboxed tantrum? If people aren't going to commit, then there's no point.
Mod of 60k. We're staying dark indefinitely since all mods use 3rd party apps.
Wow, I didn't know there was a peertube instance getting this much traffic, at least I think its peertube?
Unfortunately the video doesn't play too well on my end, lots of jitter and jumping.
It's a piped instance link which just downloads and serves the video from YouTube. It's privacy friendly because your browser doesn't hit Google's site where they'll just further build up your ad profile.
It seems to be used quite a lot here when people can't find the video on PeerTube.
