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.

As somebody who often ends up using Reddit like Stackoverflow and in some cases needing the Internet Archive (IA) to find the original post after it’s been deleted or garbled, I think this is a wakeup call for those go to Reddit both to get technical help and to post it. More than ever, Reddit is becoming an unreliable place to find answers for old obscure issues and if they are going to lockout places like the IA then I think it’s time people stopped contributing their solutions to Reddit.

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.

You can't remove it. It's there forever.

Time to use peertube

Yup, same here.

Wrong.
You can request deletion of archived pages.

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

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

Cuck boy getting pegged by post top op Garfield is definitely not something I had jotted down in my day-at-a-glance.

Damn, guess if you want reddit data to train your AI that you’ll need to pay Spez for access.

yes, in a way. this benzene ring

there was a band called Hum and in one of my favorite songs of theirs called The Scientists, the song talks about a couple who are scientists and creating and experimenting with drugs.

she tells him to keep this benzene ring around your finger, and think of me when everything you ever wanted is about to end

i fucking love that song but that moment in the song is just peak layers upon layers of music and poetry and love and adventure.

I've declared my YT channel to be dormant starting on the 13th due to this AI age-gating crap.
