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.

The question is whether a significant number of mods will stay away from the platform, enough to affect the quality of the experience for the run of the mill reddit visitor. If r/popular starts to fill up with trash or fash then the platform will start to look less appealing to advertisers.
But that might not happen. Mods might return in the most part and Reddit life will go on. In that respect the blackout itself is just noise. The real decision lies with the mods. Their work makes the value proposition to advertisers.
