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.

Same here. Reddit had me going only on inertia for the past few years. Whether they revert their API lalala doesn't matter - the communities are broken and I don't feel like getting up again.

And even if through some divine intervention they manage to repair the communities, I'm like... eh. I went to sit over here now and it's comfy.

At the end of the day, they treat their volunteers and users with disrespect too. The value in reddit isn't from spaz, but rather from the users. Yet Spaz is pretending the services are why people use it.

In fact, I almost wonder if spaz is purposely trying to kill reddit, or whether he's just another narcissist who genuinely believes reddit doesn't need users
