If only there was some site like Reddit but not centrally controlled by a corporation.

Hmmm yeah. I know! FARK

You always have something like Lemmy & Discuit.

Ofc, I was being silly when I said that seeing as we are on Lemmy.

The information will still be there as long as they don’t remove entire posts by users who have deleted their user names and keep an archive going.

Someone should be making a reddit archive site. Like an exact read-only clone to retain all the information people have access to before they remove it all to accommodate Ai on their servers.

The majority of its value is in currency, meaning current. The historical value is present too, but it’s but a drop in the ocean relatively. If everyone left Reddit, Reddit would very soon cease to exist. Wherever everyone went, they took the value with them.

I just realized the redundancy in my comment 🤦‍♂️

It’s useless if you can’t access it without an account, though, and they’re banning accounts left, right and centre over the stupidest reasons.

i would avoid anything related to current events, politics or news, thats where the bans are. im on solely niche topics after a year ago i got banned, made a new account recently and only ask question in a very niche sub.

I am not prepared to make a new account, because fuck Reddit. If you try to browse without one, you immediately get a popup telling you to log in or create an account, so I don’t even do that any more.

Never forget what made sites like Reddit popular in the first place.

you mean r/jailbait?

The one Spez was a moderator on? That one?

being a news and niche topic aggregate site helped it becoming big. because all the other forums either died or declined, or were too hard to ask a question in.

Numerous subjects & communities of subreddits is why. There’s Public Freakouts, News, Video Games, Health, Television, etc.
