I already gave up from Reddit long time ago. Deleted all

When RIF died, Voyager became the new forum app for me.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Apollo and Voyager for me so I straight-up retained the same UI.

Just more vindication for my ditching that trash heap of a platform. YT is probably going to be the next platform I ditch as they're going full Reddit now.

It's a matter of time before third-party YT front-ends start getting throttled or outright blocked like third-party Reddit front-ends.

The company says that AI companies have scraped data from the Wayback Machine, so it’s going to limit what the Wayback Machine can access.

Yeah, wouldn't want those AI companies to get all that data for free. Gotta make 'em pay for it.

AI can scrape books and journals for info, but can't scrape Reddit?

[–] General_Effort@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Reddit can be scraped just as much as online books and journals.

This company limited search crawlers to google, why are you surprised?

[–] BD89@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 1 day ago

And I will block reddit.

As long as the previous collections of archives are still intact. We probably don’t need all of their new spam posts in the wayback machine anyway

You use it too scratch your butt I think.

[–] HexesofVexes@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh no, someone might not be paying them for their user generated content (!)

To be fair, it's probably best that history forgets this period of the web...

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

that history forgets this period

and thus it repeats

I am new to Lemmy, is there a fuckreddit sub?

[–] morto@piefed.social 41 points 1 day ago

In a way, the entire lemmy community is the fuckreddit sub

Why would you want to spend more time thinking about a dead site?

Damn you Spez.

[–] Cornpop@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

Time to just ignore them and scrape it anyways

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 day ago (7 children)

OK, I stopped posting on Reddit but left my account and comments in place because I considered them part of the public record. If Reddit is taking that record private, it’s time for me to start removing my content from the platform.

Does anyone know if historical Reddit content will remain in IA? If not, I’m going to have to back up years of content somewhere else.
