Technology
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.

Work with multiple 3rd party app devs right now to ensure a future for their respective apps.
Nothing. Literally, they just need to change nothing, to do... nothing. It is their actions that are driving people away. Today as of this moment, reddit is working the same as it's done for the past several years.
Then again, I'm defintely enjoying my time here on Lemmy much more than I was at this point on reddit. This feels more like the early days of reddit, where you have more meaningful engagements. You don't show up to a thread only to find 1,000+ comments, and likely one toward the top saying the exact same words you intended to say.
If Reddit announced sustainable pricing for the APIs, backpedaled on the NSFW limitations and gave a timeline to make the official app accessible for the visually impaired and apologized to all the people who have been defamed I could consider going back.
I agree with most of the other posters, I'm done with reddit. I want the community but I don't want the corporation. It's not that I find admins who run lemmy instances more trustworthy by default, but the decentralized nature make me think it can be more resilient and altogether a better experience.
Boy do I wish we had RIF for lemmy though 😞
I haven't been a redditor for as long as you guys have, being a teenager and all, but you can see the deterioration. It's strange, losing reddit. Feels like losing a friend but different. But they took the enshittification route, and I'm never going back.
Fuck Reddit.
thats only on the official app now. Such a weird power play for reddit to seize all of the. porn its like a reverse utah
open the source code and become part of the fediverse. reddit is stuck in the past
I would say give the third party apps a chance but after that AMA I can see the creators never really cared. Maybe new management but it would be highly unlikely. When I get treated like crap there is no reason to stick around that negativity!
I might keep it it in my back pocket for breaking world news like I did with Twitter if I could still use a 3rd party app but I won't be busting down the door.
It's still useful in that it has a massive user base that can get information out quickly.
Not sure they can do anything - since I discovered federated platforms and started using more FOSS and non-corporate technology in my life, I am really glad to break away from it all.
I'm still on some platforms I'd rather not be (Discord), but the unfortunate truth of social platforms is that you have to be on them to socialise with certain friends/family, and encouraging people to use something different to talk to you is a non-starter for many.
Nothing. I was going to wait until the end of the month, but they've handled everything horribly. I've deleted comments and accounts already.
