By now, I’m sure you’ve heard about the Reddit protests and blackouts but what exactly is going on with Reddit? Why are people protesting and why did the pro...

A video about the effectiveness of the Reddit protest

Did anyone else actually watch the video? It’s inaccurate in places and is biased towards Reddit (e.g. claims that Apollo had no backend costs). Also, it misspelled the CEO’s name as “Steve Hoffman.”

Overall, this is the first post I’ve seen that makes me wish Beehaw had a downvote button.

As of this moment, the post has:

  • 87 points on beehaw.org
  • 55/38 on kbin.social
  • 61 points on midwest.social
  • 62 points on programming.dev

The real question is if downvotes on other instances federate back to Beehaw (i.e. did they only hide the button, or did they truly block them?)

As far as I am aware, downvotes do not federate to us. Don’t quote me on this tho

They don’t, I tried it with a beehaw user. Downvoting has no effect on you guys. :)

Its kind of a crap video.

The discussion is more interesting than the video
