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.

Note: you will most likely still be able to view from mobile browser via teddit even after the api cutoff date
Good to know, but why would you want to at that point? Why would you want to fight a company and use work-arounds to try to use their product?
It will still be a useful repository of knowledge. It's going to be a hard transition, most of the time when I google something I need to append site:reddit.com, to get a useful answer
reddit has been such a tremendous resource for me over the years. I feel so sad that it will become obscured to most people.
Absolutely. The value from the knowledge that I've gained from reddit is intangible. It will be next to impossible for me to not use it as reference material in the future. I mean we're talking about close to 2 decades of crowdsourced information.
Being able to filter out bad information with downvotes was also amazing, and part of the reason I will most likely be moving away from beehaw communities (no downvotes, wtf?? trying to be youtube, eh? 🤣 )
Ya if you trust the subreddit community the upvotes are extremely useful though they have their weaknesses.
