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.
Reddit disabled api access for pushshift on may 1st over the claims of “user privacy” if I recall correctly which we know is bullshit because reddit are hypocrites and sell user data anyways
They won’t go under. They’ll just become a shell. If they truly approached bankruptcy, someone would buy them just for the brand.
I get why people are doing it, but truthfully the folks deleting all their comments are the ones truly destroying the data. Even if we all moved on, that data would have still been there for us to google, just like all those mostly dead forums.
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
R/Datahoarder has been on this since it started. We aren’t losing shit.

I don’t know if it’s exactly what you want, but:

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
Not sure if time traveler, or…?

Meaning Reddit data up to that point in time
Something the Internet Archive should look into, if they’re not being sued at this present moment.
