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
I really feel for the mods who've spent years building and curating communities, only to have them decimated by forces outside of their control. Reddit never listens to its userbase and I'd be surprised if they start now. I mean, they were regularly having calls with TPA developers only to blindside them with the API changes and treat them poorly for having questions. I don't see how it will be any different for moderators, unfortunately.
Yeah I think this is purely them doing the bare minimum to look like they want to communicate while at the same time doing nothing. See also: app developers who tried to work with Reddit that Reddit absolutely ignored.
This is a shallow PR stunt that anyone familiar with the situation will see through. Its only meant to be seen by investors who only know what's going on with Reddit from reading Forbes and Bloomberg
Non-apology apology.
Right. Just want to say "we all said some things" without changing anything about their behavior. Like an abusive boyfriend they just want to say "I'm sorry let's just go back to how things were" and then continue without changing any of the underlying problems
Less than the bare minimum. This user only replied to like 3 comments on that thread and didn't even offer any apology or reconciliation even though they claimed they were 'owning' the problem. Furthermore, people have been telling them what they need to change for months/years and yet they come to the table asking for feedback on what they can change? How about they listen to the feedback that's already been given?!
Which one is better for the IPO: listening to the community or listening to the money. Reddit are absolutely going to milk every dollar they can from this abusive relationship they have with mods and users.
