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.

Yeah, what did we fucking say. I had some millions of karma on reddit. Then they shut down my app, and I up and left. A good chunk of other members of posters and commenters left as well. They shrugged us off. We're only a few percent.
Except for the 90-9-1 rule. Of a user base on average 90% will lurk/vote only, 9% will comment, and 1% will post. So it doesn't matter if it's a small percentage of your total users, if it's a good chunk of the people who post and comment you're fucking yourself.
Just checked and I have crossed over 1000 posts here and have tens of thousands of comments. All unmonitized, all useless to reddit. Enjoy your AI comments, reddit.
I was on Reddit for 17 years. I let way too many shitstorms and skeevy behavior by the company pass because hey, it's Reddit, it's essentially part of my life now, where else will i go? Then the APIcalypse happened and it was the straw that broke the camel's back, wiped out all my comments and left. I have found no real replacement of it (just bits and pieces that kinda do similar things together as an inadequate replacement) but still don't regret it and despise the owners that ruined one of the best resources we had on the internet. May they fall into utter ruin.
Oh come on, the ratio can't be that extreme. The Pareto principle only say- hang on...
Looks up how many posts in this community are from remington@beehaw.org
I'd like to retract my previous comment and agree wholeheartedly.
I didn't believe it until I started my own community. Now I'm ecstatic that I have about 3 posters.
The problem that the current Reddit leadership had was that they didn't want to share power with the stakeholders it had previously relied on to generate growth. Reddit was getting free content, moderation, and even some dev resources. There was a path in which Reddit could have maintained its ecosystem while still being profitable, but spez chose to be like every other social network.
Fuck spez
