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.

Bracing myself for the [deleted] [deleted] [deleted] everywhere.
Why delete when he can just edit the comments? Lol.
Unless they're going to come out and say "Belated April Fools! Ha ha!", I don't see how this is not going to be a dumpster fire
Oh, it's far, far too late for that. Apps and subreddits are already shutting down in advance. It won't kill Reddit most likely, but the quality is going to go way down in about a month.
They're going to IPO. This is the whole reason for Reddit's existence up to this point. Nothing the users do will possibly stop this; the users are what is up for sale. Of course they are going to be unhappy, they're about to get exploited. That's been built in already.
Conde nasty bought Reddit for 12m back in 2006 iirc, this has been the plan since then I bet.
