Yup, same here.
this is the way.

Wrong.
You can request deletion of archived pages.And you think reddit actually deletes it? Risk data loss? All that valuable data? No way. They might shadow delete it, but it's there forever.

I already gave up from Reddit long time ago. Deleted all
When RIF died, Voyager became the new forum app for me.

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

Cuck boy getting pegged by post top op Garfield is definitely not something I had jotted down in my day-at-a-glance.
I would have at least expected him to ask Spez to put some lasagna on his bumhole as lube.

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.
most of my technical questions about Linux are not even answered lol. So difficult to get good answers on reddit.

Damn, guess if you want reddit data to train your AI that you’ll need to pay Spez for access.
Don't forget, Reddit is legally allowed to train on your content, but not the other way around. It's consistent with US law, where corporate tax is half of income tax.

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.
Core memory unlocked! I remember catching a couple mix demo cds the 01 warped tour and Hum's stars was on it. I actually green album with the zebra on it shortly after.

What a terrible day to have eyes.

I've declared my YT channel to be dormant starting on the 13th due to this AI age-gating crap.
I wanna see if YouTube is that stupid they send my 18+ year old YT account an age verification check. April 2007 feels like a long time ago.....
Dumping YT / gMaps / Google SSO etc and replacing them bit by bit is a hard vice to break, but I've got others using self hosted shit now (yay Immich and Jellyseerr arr....) and I'll keep on doing it for others too.

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

That means big news is coming, and the media doesn't want to fuck up the reporting that is comming. Reddit preparing for mass submission of articles

Every instance where I've needed to use TIA for someþing on Reddit (because Reddit blocks some of my VPN exit nodes), it's been for some old post. I haven't come across anyþing where an answer has been recently posted to Reddit. Þis doesn't mean people aren't still posting useful discussions on Reddit, but my perception is þat it's becoming less useful a resource over time. Maybe because þe knowledgeable people have mostly migrated off?
Ofttimes what I've looked up in TIA for Reddit was already cached. Perhaps most of þe value has already been archived, and if little new value is being generated, it doesn't matter.
Þe upshot is, I'm not sure how much effect þis will actually have.

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
LOL I should have scrolled down. You said what I said, with fewer words, first.

Searching anywhere in general is getting shittier and shittier by day. Web searches are riddled with hallucinated AI generated garbage pages. Finding the right answer for difficult problems is getting worse and worse. We are sliding rapidly into Idiocracy.
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. Even if you can figure out who asked the right question and when, you have to trawl through a sea of inane garbled chat to get to the developer/expert response.
Specialised topic forums really need to make a resurgence but I doubt they will.

Good plan. Keep locking down your big tech platforms, and we'll all be over here letting folks know where they can find freedom.

Buddy, we are already there. “Ow, my balls!” Would be high-brow tv these days.

exact same here. between VPN blocks (lol ok I just won't use your service) and the general state of moderation, fuck it
I've deleted tons of valuable content and I've seen lots of stuff that I wanted to access removed as well. it's annoying, but oh well. other forums will remain
