    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?)

      It is VERY biased. The protest just “died down” and reddit just “had to wait”. Apparently, threatening the mods of popular subreddits, like r/pics mods, never happened. Very normal.
