I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the number of people who are continuing to stick with it + be supportive. I didn’t expect anything beyond the planned end of the blackout, although I didn’t expect thousands of subreddits to participate in that either. Either way I’ve basically cut Reddit out entirely. I used to scroll 2-3hrs a day and I’m down to maybe 10 minutes once or twice a week when I’m trying to find an answer to something. Attempting to fill my newfound free time has been… fun
Even if reddit changes course at this point… I’ve found Lemmy. And it’s just… better. And beyond that, it would take reddit years to recoup the goodwill they’ve lost with this.
It is sad that we are going to loose a bunch of community knowledge that is on reddit if they go under but fuck spez and reddit
Though I wish there was a backup of reddit so we can keep the community knowledge gathered throughout the years
Edit: typo
It’ll technically all still be there on reddit, right? We can treat it as an archive without actually being active users. Heck, you could even form a volunteer group to collate all the most important threads and key points into some posts here, or some google docs, etc.
Pushshift data might be a very good candidate for a reddit archive of data before may 1st but I’m not sure on the specifics of Pushshift access to the data
before may 1st
Not sure if time traveler, or…?
Meaning Reddit data up to that point in time
This won’t go anywhere as long as users aren’t willing to leave reddit. Mods can be replaced, users can’t.
I left…reddit honestly seems clunky now…I go back to watch it burn but it’s not burning enough :( maybe instead of John Oliver they should be posting dragons or something jeez
People should just start posting really unflattering images of spez or photoshopping spez
That would really piss him off
