It's still a forum-style website. Adblock still works, which is where they're getting their trickle of revenue. They aren't moving to a premium, pay-to-access model. Even they aren't that dumb.
Did you just triple-dog dare spez?
At least that would give the rest of the users reason to leave so other platforms can grow faster.
The data should be scraped and on Archive.org. I copied my posts and references, to share here.
Reddit will get my CCPA delete notice. Reddit is a failed experiment just like GeoCities, Yahoo, MySpace, Windows, Facebook, and Google. I don't want or need them. The data I shared on these platforms is irrelevant because I am here. Ask away. I am the value, not them.
I initially agreed with you. I'd hate to see all of that communal knowledge lost.
Reading the other replies, I am not so sure. Do they deserve to continue capitalizing on other peoples knowledge? Yes and No. They did supply a service without which that collection would have had to be assembled somewhere else. But I don't think they should be able to capitalize on it forever.
With the archive team and their efforts, I am less worried about "Wisdom of the Ancients" situation.
I just hope the archives will be easily accessible and searchable, preferably without having to specifically leave the search engine to search them, otherwise the knowledge will still, in practice for most people, be inaccessible.
Fuck Reddit, nuke it all!

All those in EU can ask reddit for the entirety of your data as a GDPR request, much easier than downloading it yourself, especially since some apps have limits to how many posts they can fetch.

My account will remain, as I reminisce on my posts from time to time.
I'm torn on this and haven't decided what to do. At the very least they will not be getting my knowledge posted over there any longer.
I don’t care about Reddit; they are just going to profit from our data. Delete your posts if you want to. The collective knowledge/wisdom is within the community and if we all move to Lemmy, that knowledge comes with us.
Don't worry, Reddit are restoring comments and posts anyway.
