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.

Apparently, those subreddits are now not only open, but completely unmoderated. Reddit's solution was to remove the mods and put nobody else in charge. I'm sure that won't backfire in any way whatsoever! /s
Wait that's hilarious. I wonder how long because it all just fall apart under a pile of john olivers and shock videos
Quality of posts on Reddit has nosedived over the last week.
Even if mods still want to continue modding their aubreddits you'd have to have taken a shot to the heart after years of free work with what Reddit is doing now. This has been one of the worst displays of ignorance and ungratefulness I've ever seen portrayed on an online forum that's supposedly operated by professionals.
Perhaps we can learn from this. As I raised my whiskers from r/programming as it went dark and as took in the Reddit landscape. I dare convey the disgust of my view and what once was a fairly decent host of valid servers covering meaningful content and topics has became home to some of the foulest users and mods alike, hosting some of the most absurd and leud servers. Looking for another habitat for this ole cat, I found none.... r/programming is still down but even if it opens the doors under new moderation, I will not be returning as those that made the subreddit what it was will not be there, thus they may as well parse it with r/programminghumor and be done with it.
I am glad to see other programmers like @tyfi take a stand as well and break ground here. I'm hopeful for this small community. 🐈⬛
Good.
Tubgirl for everyone!
subreddits like r/askhistorians only work because of high quality moderators who REALLY know their subject matter.
I can see that working out beautifully.

Would be a shame if people just started posting tons of animal porn to them
