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.

MODERATORS
The thing that worries me is if they do manage to get through this without losing anything significant, it’s only going to give them confidence to go further. How long before old.reddit goes? NSFW content? Blocking users with adblockers?
Nsfw got killed by that as well basically, moderating nsfw subs is one hell of a work, and they can't use third party tools at all anymore because the api just doesn't forward nsfw stuff anymore, all their bots will 100% go out and that will be the day reddit gets flooded with Child porn and billions of onlyfans links. You just cant moderate a sub without tools, and reddit itself offers absolutely nothing.

Than the people who still use Reddit can leave or just suck it up.
I expect the people who actually gave a shit are long gone than already at that point, so the community can then shout into the void if they would disagree.
I guess Reddit has introduced free API calls for moderator apps. They're trying to placate the mods, but screw the users. Good luck with that.
