I understand why some people would want to do this, but there’s a lot of stuff there that I would hate to be gone forever.
There’s an old game - I always forget which game it is until it happens again - that I play once every few years, but which always gives me problems when installing or starting for the first time. And every time I looked for a solution, I always ended up in the same Reddit thread; one with a solution that always worked. After I landed there a few times, I even left a comment thanking them for it.
I don’t so much want Reddit gone forever, as I just want for there to be more competition and for users to be spread out. Or, maybe even better, for there to be a searchable archive of Reddit.
What about just saving that revisited post/comment to a personal stash, like in Google Drive or something? There is definitely more competition now, at any rate!
That’s a good idea! I also saw someone else mention they save some pages locally when they find explanations for something niche, in case it disappears, and I think I might start doing the same!

I’ve been noticing this with YouTube videos, too, even that have no overt reason to be removed. I’m now downloading my faces.
I thought the exact same, but when their internal mail leaked i was just “fuck this” and got rid of everything.
was that the bit about all of this blowing over or did i miss something?
You may have missed the bit about the Black Cat ransomware gang making off with 80GB of internal data?
yiiiiikes i definitely did miss that!
