I went searching for something today and instinctually clicked on a reddit link. Fortunately the sub was dark for the protest anyway, but it’s crazy how ingrained in me it is to go to reddit for everything.

Unfortunately now we’re going to have to get used to clicking on those clickbait tech articles like “TOP 10 FACEBOOK ALTERNATIVES 2023” to find information, and weed out the crappy blogs.

    I think their mindset is that they don’t want Reddit to profit off of those contributions. I understand that, but personally I won’t be nuking my account, even though RiF is the only way I really browse the site.

      Once everything is archived and the archives are properly searchable, destroying the content on reddit by deleting accounts and issuing GDPR deletion requests to make sure they can’t leave the content up and anonymize it is a very reasonable thing to do.
