Saddest thing for me is that Reddit had a lot of valuable knowledge its users had gathered throughout the years. I have more than once found the answer to a technical problem over on Reddit. I am sad to see that go but hope we can build something similar over here in the fediverse hopefully forever.
I’ve felt torn about deleting all my years of comments for this reason. I don’t want to keep from benefiting Reddit, but at the same time, it’s sad to stop benefitting average Internet users.
I just want to mention that much of the reddit content is archived in archive.org and there’s a Firefox extention to direct Reddit links to archive.org. That way you can access past content without giving Reddit any traffic : Reddit to Wayback Machine
