"Ow, my balls!" was already a thing in the 90s, on BIG time tv. It was called america's funniest videos.

Ah, back when it was “America’s Funniest Home Videos”. Yes, they pioneered the crotch-smashing format. I’m just saying, shit like Real Housewives makes getting hit in the balls look like Masterpiece Theatre.

I don't know... I mean, I agree. But I'm seeing a lot of demands that instances should prevent scraping. Ok, it could be astroturf; a campaign by Reddit/data brokers to neutralize the free competition. But you have seen all those deleted posts on Reddit. Those are some special little minds.

But I’m talking about archived webpages and information previously available to the public with zero commercial value that has been removed.

It is still "intellectual property". Maybe the policy is to just oblige removal requests if the content doesn't seem to be of public interest. Cause why not, right? Look at all the people here on Lemmy angry that their worthless posts are scraped or deleting them on Reddit. Obliging takedown requests is certainly the path of least resistance.

Enshittification

Not to mention so many projects putting their support in walled garden chat services like Discord that you can’t even search via search engine.

Seeing this happen has been one of the saddest most desperate parts about watching the internet dying.

It was obvious what was going to happen years ago, that didn't stop people from acting like I was a reactionary foolish cynic when I voiced concern about this though.

Seriously FUCK Discord (and Reddit).

Same here. I've been better off ever since.

Phpbb/mybb/smf haven’t seemed to do that.

Doesn't the internet archive relieve that stress?

I think that was probably the real reason for the block, the Internet Archive is too functional, scalable and accessible of a service for reddit's lame excuses about needing to gatekeep access to the community created content on their website to not make reddit look totally stupid unless they came up with an excuse to block the Internet Archive.

The two things that just make me boggle, specifically about that, was just how filthy bob saget was (sort of like robin williams) in his comedy outside of the tv roles, and apparently how much straight up home-made porn was sent in to that show.

I suppose that could be it.
For some reason I had the idea everything on there would stay there forever like valuable artefacts in a museum to be studied by future generations.
Thanks again.

Reddit warned my account ( first warn in 10 years ) and deleted the comment when I told a American he can strike peacefully to show the government they are against it.

I got a warn for recommending violence by an ai , the human that checked it agreed and didn't remove the warn haha.

Reddit is just feared that their censorship goes public.

I was on Reddit for like 15 years, then got all my warnings and a ban in like a month or two earlier this year. Oh well, lol.

That's the kind of talk that can get you banned from Reddit.

Fuck Spez

Yup, same thing happened to me. Called a local politician pond scum and got a permaban for "inciting violence". Now everytime i try to make an account it gets permabanned within 24 hrs.

Is it better than summit? I'm on summit now and pretty happy with it for far. Never heard of voyager though

Not that reddit isn't hot garbage right now, and has been for a while actually, but there's a lot of people here who have glazed over the reason why reddit instituted this policy.

AI companies are scraping the Wayback Machine. This is something that should concern all of us.

I just replied “Liar, or fucking liar.” To every republican lie I saw. Only took 2 days for a permaban. I feel if they can lie we should be able to call them out on it at least.

If you ever used Apollo for reddit, this is 99% the same. I haven't used summit so I can't compare unfortunately.
