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.

Don't underestimate the power of spite.
Actually if its not changed most subs will go down indefinitely because moderation will get 3 times more time consuming (at least) and the default subs will need a team of people working in shifts 24/7 without ever interrupting.
Also the amount of bots is skyrocketing.
This is what I want to see. When admins forced a sub to reopen I would think the volunteer mods won't maintain it, it will slowly crumble. Volunteer mods has a better motivation to maintain the sub they love than a paid employee.
I would love to see Reddit crumble into spam
If Lemmy ever hits mainstream, the bots will be bad here too.
Nah, most instances have manual approval and you can just block entire instances as a instance...
