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.

No apologies as Reddit halfheartedly tries to repair ties with moderators (arstechnica.com)

Reddit is reaching out to moderators after tensions rose over recent policy changes and API pricing. A Reddit admin acknowledged the strained relationship and outlined new weekly feedback sessions and other outreach efforts to repair ties. However, moderators remain skeptical of Reddit's efforts given mixed results from past initiatives. Many mods feel Reddit has been unwilling to make meaningful changes to address their concerns like more accessible API pricing or exemption for accessibility apps. After a tumultuous few months, moderators have very low expectations that Reddit's latest efforts will result in real changes.

It's a lot of abuse to take, I'm kind of surprised more redditors haven't jumped ship. It's so much cozier here on lemmy, I just think maybe redditors have no idea what the water is like over here and so they haven't even dipped a toe into any alternatives.

I'll tell you why I haven't deleted reddit -- aside from tech-heavy discussion here (Linux, Reddit, tech generally, that sort of thing), there isn't a fediverse equivalent to things like the sports or food subreddits I follow.

I agree iscussions on lemmy are higher-quality and friendlier, for sure. But for a lot of the things I use reddit for they just don't really exist here yet.
